This subject includes an optional overseas field trip to South East Asia for a maximum of 20 students. Eligible students will need a current passport with a minimum of 6 months until expiry. The University will be organising the appropriate visa. Additional costs will apply to all students undertaking the field trip. Students should contact the subject coordinator for further details.
This subject focuses on the similarities and differences in Indigenous peoples' experiences of colonisation in selected countries and the resultant impact. Students will be introduced to the different historical and contemporary circumstances of Indigenous people in other colonial contexts and various instruments and terms of political inclusion for Indigenous peoples' agendas for change and pursuit of restorative justice. In doing so students will identify and analyse how different groups have developed strategies to respond to colonisation over time. The development of an international movement of Indigenous peoples following the establishment of the UN Charter of Human Rights will also be explored. Subject to funding each year this subject includes the opportunity for a sponsored study trip to SE Asia under the auspices of the Colombo Plan. The study trip will be taken in the semester break prior to semester two. Students will engage in background research relating to the study trip and participate in a range of tasks to be completed on their trips. There will be additional costs payable by all students who undertake the study trip and students should contact the subject coordinator to obtain further details. Those students who are unable to participate in the study trip can complete the subject by the usual internal or external mode of delivery.
There are additional charges for this subject; please contact the School for details.
