SOAB100 Cultures and Identity in Australian Indigenous Communities

10 cp
Prerequisites Students must be enrolled in the BTBA (Indigenous Studies) course
Teaching Organisation Students will attend two compulsory residential schools on campus. Residential contact will involve lectures, group tutorials and small group discussions.

The major focus of this unit is the exploration of Indigenous identity within Indigenous cultures, its relationship to Australian history and its significance within the wider national context. The unit will examine the diversity of Indigenous cultures and the ways in which the intersection of traditional cultures and modern cultural forms produce multi-faceted Indigenous identities. This foundation will consider the range of cultural practices through which Indigenous identity is sustained as well as the historical and socio-cultural factors and processes that generate change.
