About this Unit
Understanding of Australia’s cultural identity is essential for those who intend to engage in its promotion or in the management of cultural exchanges between Australia and other countries. This unit will describe the main features of Australian cultures including Indigenous culture, Western culture as inherited through settlement from Britain and elsewhere, and of multiculturalism arising from recent migration patterns. Students will study the history and current status of Australia’s political institutions, its important international alliances and treaties, and the development of its independent foreign policy. An introduction will be given to Australia’s major cultural management organisations and arts institutions (including invited guest speakers).
