· The Dress Code for Empire

· Undertake an audit of political artefacts and semiotics

· Work though the SPoR Social Politics Audit Tool in situ

· Learn about Archetypes in Social Politics

· Study the dynamics of social influencing

· Study the Dismissal of the Whitlam Government

· Study: Technique, Propaganda, Imperialism, Marxism, Pragmatism, Utilitarianism, Critical Theory, Imperialism, Fundamentalism, Conspiracy Theories, Hegemony, Ideology, Power, Subversion and Political Illusion.

· Examine an ethic of risk and safety

· Explore The Political Unconscious (Jameson)

All with a view to how politics affects human judgment and decision making in risk.

A large amount of time will be experiential in-class activity, an after dinner speaker on the 16th and three visits and journaling. Participants will receive a Social Politics of Risk conversation audit tool as well as the poster on Social Influencing.
