Course details
Through the study of political philosophy at an introductory level, students will be able to identify, describe and critically analyze some of its most influential ideologies and arguments. Students will then explore various events, developments and policies that have been of particular significance for Indigenous Australians, including colonization, assimilation, self-determination, treaties and Indigenous land rights. The study materials include extracts from a range of works in political philosophy, assorted documents and writings relating to Australian issues, and individual profiles of around 20 of Australia's most significant Indigenous political figures including Pemulwuy, David Unaipon, Eddie Koiki Mabo and Noel Pearson. Following their consideration and analysis of the issues from a variety of perspectives, students should be able to demonstrate a sophisticated understanding of various cultural and political issues that are central to Australia's past, present and future.
