Description:
This course introduces students to Australia as a site for rich anthropological inquiry. Students will engage with ethnographies of migration, Indigeneity, multiculturalism, social policies, race, and settler colonialism in Australia. Students will also learn about Australia’s unique history as a site where liberal ideals of multiculturalism clash with the ongoing violence of racism and settler colonialism. Ethnographies of Australia will serve as lenses to understand broader anthropological debates on power, culture, and colonialism in the contemporary world.
