MHIS109: The Making of Australia
This unit considers how Australian experience has been shaped by both material forces and projections of imagined identity and values onto the land, its Indigenous people and the development of a white settler colony and nation. Key themes include Australia's relationship with the region and the world, the expansion of European settlement and the evolving forms of industry, work and culture. These developments were accompanied by narratives of progress, race, empire and identity that shaped the young Commonwealth and generated conflicts and ambiguities that remain contested.
