Indigenous Australians and the State
SCS 510 (Offering: 2003)

Description

Postgraduate Course
This course examines questions regarding Aboriginal sovereignty, the origins of the Australian state vis-a-vis the country's indigenous population and the nature of the contemporary state and bureaucratic government as the central mechanism which articulates public policies. The development and operation of various state indigenous policies such as segregation, assimilation, self-determination and reconciliation are evaluated, from indigenous viewpoints. Furthermore, students critically explore the current social location of indigenous Australians in areas such as education, employment, health, land rights and criminal justice. (This course is a designated 'race/ethnicity' course in Social and Community Studies.)
