Course overview

This course will build on students' knowledge of Aboriginal cultures and understanding in contemporary Australia. By reflecting upon non-indigenous and indigenous representations of Aboriginal people in the media, students will explore the roles of race, gender and social inequality within their own learning and community contexts. In addition, a focus on language, traditions and customs will be explored.

Course learning outcomes

  • Demonstrate a basic understanding of a range of perspectives and concepts present in current representations of Aboriginal communities.
  • Identify and describe traditional learning methodologies of First Peoples in Australia.
  • Evaluate representations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander issues presented in the media.
  • Analyse the role of gender and ethnicity in creating and maintaining social inequalities within contemporary Australian society.
