Description

Examines political and social constructs of contemporary Aboriginal Australia and the processes which have shaped them. Contemporary issues which affect Indigenous Australians, such as health, education, racism, land rights and law will be examined. The structural position of Aboriginal people within Australian society will be contextualised within the theory that colonialism is an ongoing experience for Aboriginal Australians. Considers the implications for the future of Aboriginal self-determination and reconciliation in relation to contemporary government initiatives.

Note: The course is distinct from, but complementary to AUST2004.
