SWK2111 Aboriginal Histories of the Present
SCHOOL OF REGIONAL PROFESSIONAL STUDIES
Credit Points: 15
 
Description:

The unit examines the experiences of Aboriginal peoples since invasion and colonisation, using the notion of whiteness to understand the way in which ‘history’ is contested and discursive. The unit analyses the history of dispossession, resistance, adaptation and survival of Aboriginal people in Australia, tracking these experiences against a backdrop of historical events. The unit will examine the historical and contemporary nature of oppression and resistance as reflecting power inequities between groups.
