Why do we call Australia the lucky country? Do we live in the land of the fair go? Is Australia a good global citizen? This subject explores the myths that made Australia and their relevance today. We'll draw on film, literature, history, sport and politics to discuss the origin of these myths and their transformation over time. You'll be introduced to a range of Humanities and Social Science perspectives on Indigenous and non-Indigenous relations, land and environment, ethnicity and gender, culture and nation, Australia in a globalising world, and Australia in Asia. You can use this subject to count towards all majors in the Bachelor of Arts. If you're studying any undergraduate course at La Trobe, you can use this subject as an elective to meet the Global Citizenship Essential.
