This subject examines the continuing effects and legacy of colonisation for Australia’s Indigenous people from Referendum up to the present day. Socio-economic, cultural and political factors influencing Indigenous communities today are analysed to give an overview of Indigenous Australian achievements and those institutional forces which have frustrated Indigenous Australian aspirations for self-determination.
Learning Objectives:
- recognise and gain an increased understanding of the diversity and complexities of Indigenous Australian culture, lifestyles and worldviews;
- develop further understanding of the impact of specific legislation and policies on Indigenous Australians from Referendum to present day;
- develop the ability to argue logically and coherently about information from diverse sources;
- refine writing skills.
