Synopsis
This course will introduce students to a broad range of issues of relevance to contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities. While there will be emphasis on South East and Western Queensland, students will also gain an understanding of regional variation and place based cultures across Australia. Issues will include, but not be limited to, identity, land, history, policy and politics. Through a weekly lecture and a two hour tutorial the course will, through an analysis of contemporary society, examine the historical dispossession and exclusion that left Aboriginal and Islander peoples as non-citizens and without rights. The process to 'reconciliation' through citizenship and self determination/ management and the current debates around sovereignty, constitutional recognition and Treaties will all be explored. This course will privilege Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders writers/theorists, elders and positions.
