AUST11-105: Australia: Culture and Identity

How does the interplay of diverse cultural narratives shape the ever-evolving mosaic of Australian identity? This subject explores changing understandings of Australian identity in their geographic, cultural and historical contexts. Engage with First Nations understandings, British legacies, global influences, and the significance of the land, sea and built environments in evolving representations of Australian identity. From Indigenous cultures to multicultural Australia, gender dynamics, and the representation of LGBT+ identities, we will analyse how Australian culture reflects broader societal realities. This subject invites you to reflect on the perspectives that shape Australian cultural identity and your experience of Australian culture in the present.
