Australia's history is one embedded in a host of race relations, migration stories
and questions of belonging. These narratives have fed a number of historical and contemporary
debates both politically, socially and culturally about what it means to be "Australian"
and how our nation is defined. In this subject, students will engage with theories,
politics and practices surrounding these issues to provide a systematic coverage of
migration, ethnicity and belonging that enables analysis of not just Australian issues
but also international concerns. Using case studies, students will engage with a host
of disciplinary approaches to be able to understand complex issues of ethnicity and
migration in the contemporary world today
