Introducing SSPS6008 – Universal Basic Income
In 2025, the the School of Social and Political Sciences (SSPS) at the University of Sydney will offer the first unit of study focused on Universal Basic Income (UBI) to be taught at a university in Australasia.
This interdisciplinary unit critically examines UBI’s potential to tackle 21st-century challenges like inequality, economic insecurity, technological disruption and more frequent extreme weather events. It traces the historical, ethical, and political economic foundations of UBI from its origins in the French and American revolutions to contemporary trials, political campaigns and policy exemplars. Students will engage with a variety of research methods, including historical analysis, ethical argument, social scientific experiments, and computer-based microsimulations, to evaluate UBI’s potential merits and limitations.

Strategies for a just and democratic climate economy
The economy is an increasingly significant terrain of climate politics. The climate debate has moved on from carbon pricing as the cornerstone of climate economics and is now focused on how climate change is, or should be, reshaping markets, industries and statecraft. However, existing climate agendas have placed significant faith in private capital to lead the transition, failed to wind down the fossil economy, and are becoming ever more entangled with geopolitical tensions and interests.
