About this Unit
Western Sydney is home to indigenous and migrant communities which makes it culturally and
linguistically diverse. This practice-based unit will enable students to develop a portfolio of written
work in a variety of creative genres from a bicultural writer's perspective. Students will gain
conceptual tools to engage with bicultural writers' texts, discuss and critically evaluate the
relationship between theory and writing in a transcultural context, and reflect on their own
bicultural experience though creative writing in the English language. The unit allows students
from all backgrounds to connect with indigenous and immigrant communities through creative
writing.
