BAHIS3001 Australian History
Australia is the last continent to have been colonised by Europeans, but it is also home to the worlds longest surviving peoples and cultures. This unit examines European attempts to construct a new society on the lands of Australias first peoples. It explores how successive waves of immigrants, both European and non-European, introduced new ideas, institutions and technologies in their ongoing attempts to make the continent their own. This unit examines the history of Australia through the origins and contexts of critical debates in Australia`s history and their impact on the contemporary social, political and cultural landscape. It will also trace the influence of transnational trends and developments on domestic events and processes, as well as to the reciprocal effects Australian developments have had internationally. This unit introduces students to key historical and historiographical themes and debates in Australian history and equips them with the knowledge and skills to act as informed and ethical citizens in twenty-first century Australia.
