HIST271: Indigenous-Settler Relations in Australia: Contact, Context and Shared Histories from 1750

This unit explores the interactions between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians from the 1750's to the present. It provides students with background in the nineteenth century context before moving through some of the key developments of the twentieth century. Included here is land, political resistance, assimilation, labour and sexual relations, anthropology, ideology, self-determination, rights and sovereignty. The unit starts with some theoretical consideration of colonialism and draws out a range of themes to emphasise the complex connections and disconnections of a shared history. It also provides scope for comparative reflection/s.
