Course description

The Course has three interconnected dimensions: it examines the process of remembering and forgetting in the history of Australian sport: it critically analyzes many of Australia's sporting icons such as Don Bradman, Les Darcy, Dawn Fraser, Alick Wickham and Duke Kahanamoku through dominant cultural discourses; and finally it looks at the history of Australian sport through documentaries, films, monuments and museums.
