DESCRIPTION
This course traces Sydney's development from early Indigenous connections to Sydney as tribal country, the establishment of a colonial outpost of the British Empire, through to the thriving multi-cultural metropolis it is today. The course will examine how the forces of colonization, migration, economic modernization, and globalization have affected the city and its inhabitants. Students will gain insights into the changing dynamics and identities of communities within Sydney and will also look at the forces that have shaped Sydney's relationship with the rest of the world.
