In this interdisciplinary core subject for the Bachelor of Arts we explore what it means to be human in contemporary Australian society. Rethinking Our Humanity will examine the human experience through topics such as the value of art, the pursuit of happiness, and the shape of our human future. As well as exploring the boundaries of what it means to be human, we also seek to practice and develop critical academic skills that will be necessary to your success as a student.
