Course details

In Search of Australia is essentially a survey of selected themes in Australian history and investigates such questions as why the British settled Australia in 1788, what the impact of European settlement on Australian Aborigines was, how an Australian national feeling developed, why the White Australia Policy was so strongly supported, what role women played in the political and economic life of the emerging nation, why Australia became one of the most urbanised countries in the world, how party politics developed from faction politics, the extent to which religion has been important to Australians, the impact that immigrants have had on Australian political and economic life, and how 'the post-federation Australian settlement' was dismantled in the 1980s and 1990s.
