Course description
Not offered in 2011. Students requiring this course for the Bachelor of Human Services should enrol in SOSC1011.
Australia is a culturally and ethnically diverse nation whose population includes indigenous and migrant cultures besides the mainstream one deriving from European origins. All of these cultures engage the world differently and this course examines the historical and social implications of that fact to interrogate notions of ethnicity, diversity, race, and culture in the context of Australian nationhood and citizenship - what are their implications for behaviour?
