Australian Studies occupies a unique position in the Australian tertiary curriculum as it offers both Australian and international students the opportunity to examine Australian culture and society from the perspectives of a variety of complementary disciplines and other area studies: English, History, Politics, Sociology, Social Policy, Indigenous Studies, Environmental Studies, Film Studies, Music and Art History.
Aims of the Minor Stream The subject-specific aims of the Australian Studies minor stream are: • to develop informed understanding of Australian society, culture and experience • to discern relationships between the various disciplinary methods employed to understand Australia in its transnational context. • to foster critical and creative engagement with Australia in its relationships with the world through reasoned and open-minded debate • to consider the value of Australian ethical and aesthetic responses • to internationalise Australian experiences and so foster understanding of other cultures.
