Any discussion about Australian identity is inextricably linked with the topic of multiculturalism. Australian social and cultural life has been shaped by various waves of immigration throughout its history and very prominently in the wake of its post-war immigration program. We will discuss the meaning of the concept of multiculturalism, the evolution of Australian multiculturalism & cultural diversity, multicultural policies, immigration & citizenship, racial & religious tolerance and inclusion/exclusion. The course will rely heavily on classwork and texts to be prepared for each session.
Working material will be made available in the 'semesterapparat'. |
