The flow of people globally via migration has shaped nations like Australia historically, and continues to be an important trend that influences social, cultural, political and economic issues both within the nation and the international arena. Students in a wide range of disciplines in the Faculty of Business, Education, Law and Arts will benefit from this examination of contemporary and historical issues in global and Australian migration trends and cultures. This course will provide theoretical and conceptual underpinnings for understanding migration, as well as a case study approach to specific issues, such as humanitarian and economic migration, settlement policies, and cultural phenomena. It will provide an in-depth understanding of migration drawn from range of disciplines, such as international relations, history, social sciences, and cultural studies.

Students investigate and examine the theoretical and conceptual bases of migration as a global phenomenon that shapes local, national and international cultures, societies, economies and politics. They also analyse a range of international and Australian case studies to explore major trends and issues, such as humanitarian migration trends, economic migration, settlements policies (such as multiculturalism), and cultural representations (such as art, film and literature).
