Indigenous-Settler Relations in Australia: Contact, Context and Shared Histories from 1750 - MHIS201

This unit explores the interactions between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians from the 1750s to the present. It provides students with background in the 19th century context before moving through some of the key developments of the 20th century. Included here is land; political resistance; assimilation; labour and sexual relations; anthropology; ideology; self-determination; rights; and sovereignty. The unit starts with some theoretical consideration of colonialism and draws out a range of themes to emphasise the complex connections and disconnections of a shared history. It also provides scope for comparative reflection/s.
