Subject outline
In this subject you will explore a wide range of topics relating to political issues and theoretical understandings relevant to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and cultures. This subject enables you to understand Indigenous politics on a global as well as local scale and how Indigenous rights interface with colonisation, government legislation, and policies. Students will gain deeper understanding of the context of 'Treaty', 'Aboriginal self-determination', 'constitutional change', 'reconciliation' and many other topics relating to First Nations recognition and Australia n nationhood. The subject will explore a diverse range of case examples and events to build an understanding of contemporary colonialism and Indigenous political trends. This subject critically examines the politics of Australian constitutional change, native title and treaty, resistance politics, grass roots political movements and government initiatives. Students intending to major in Aboriginal Studies are strongly advised to take this subject. Prior knowledge of Australian colonialism and race relations will be an advantage to students.
