Second and Third Year Subjects in History Australia Australian Aboriginal History This subject will consider relations between indigenous and non-Aboriginal people in Australia since 1770. The main topics will include the legal basis of British sovereignty; the nature of frontier contact; violence and the dispossession of Aborigines; Aboriginal depopulation; Aborigines' responses to colonialism; government policy and practice, from segregation to assimilation; and Aboriginal political movements. The subject will simultaneously examine the political and theoretical dimensions associated with representing the Australian Aboriginal past and, in particular, the relationship between power and knowledge in historical discourses. Becoming Australians: Nineteenth Century Subjects What did it mean to be an Australian before the birth of the Australian state? What did it mean to be a British subject in Australia? This subject looks at Australia before federation. It asks how different groups in colonial society defined themselves, and were defined by colonial and imperial institutions. And it asks how the idea of the nation grew (and sometimes faltered) within the imperial frame. Particular objects of study include convicts, dispossessed Aboriginal communities, the colonial middleclass, colonial democracy, the Irish and Chinese communities, unionists, rural communities, the 'urban poor', suburbanites, liberal democrats, and republicans and other nationalists. Twentieth Century Australia A study of the changing character of the Australian state and of national aspirations and identity. The topics covered include federation and national goals in the first decade of the twentieth century, the defence of the state from external and internal enemies, including consideration of involvement in overseas conflicts from the First World War to Vietnam, the significance of race and gender, changing representations of the Australian way of life, and the remaking of Australia in the 1980s and 1990s.

Latest news Past news Upcoming events CSU e-magazine ... CSU home Thursday 21 November 2002 International academic event comes to Bathurst Delegates from around the world will gather in Bathurst next week for a major international conference hosted by Charles Sturt University. The brainchild of CSU information technology lecturer Dr David Tien, the first International Conference on Information Technology and Applications (ICITA) 2002 has attracted over 160 delegates of which some 80 per cent come from more than 20 different countries. According to Dr Tien the conference has received many high quality academic papers and several professors from top international universities who are coming to present their research results. “Some are bringing their entire research teams to the conference to meet their peers, exchange ideas, and establish professional networks. It is a very pleasing outcome for an event that is the first of its kind,” he said. “ICITA 2002 represents a continuing effort to attract international academic events to regional Australia, to promote Bathurst as an international event hub, and judging by the overwhelming response, the uniqueness of attending a conference in regional NSW obviously has great appeal to overseas delegates. There are many international academic conferences hosted in major Australian cities and Dr Tien maintains that, despite indications that there is growing interest among international delegates in rural and regional Australia, few full scale international academic events have been hosted outside metropolitan cities.

Neither police nor intelligence agencies have received any information suggesting a specific terrorist threat on New Year's Eve, but state governments have called in the extra numbers to reassure jittery communities. And the heightened public acceptance of an increased police presence will work as much against anti-social behaviour as any perceived terrorist threat. Officers will be concentrated in CBD areas, many of which will be open only to pedestrians and subject to alcohol bans. Police in Sydney, where the central city will be off-limits to traffic, will have powers to search any cars found in the exclusion zone.

One Book Rates a Read in Towns from Bowral to Alice Springs In an Australian first, a project is being jointly undertaken in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales and Alice Springs in the Northern Territory to motivate more adults to make time in their lives for reading. The community-wide reading project known as "One Book - One Town" was launched on Australia Day 2002 in the Southern Highlands. When Alice Springs Library learned of the idea via the internet, a link between the two communities was established and a decision was taken to twin the regions by reading the same book in a unique Australian collective reading experience. Other libraries have also been in contact about the project with a view to including their own communities. The idea behind the One Book - One Town project is simple: It is a public campaign to encourage the reading of a particular book in a particular community during a particular period of time. In addition to promoting the book, various events such as a visit by the author, workshop events and the formation of book discussion groups are used to help motivate people to make more time for reading in their lives. The One Book - One Town is supported by the local bookshops, the Council Libraries, and the six major Australian publishers that nominated titles for selection.

However, Helen Irving argues that there is more to the Australian soul than golden soil. January belongs to Australians. Summer days, a glorious freedom from school or work, festivals of this and that, thongs, cricket. While life elsewhere turns back to routine, New Year's Day in Australia announces a pause, a stretch of time to do the things we dream of doing the rest of the year - or, at least, to watch others doing them. By January 26, we have been re-Australianised, and we're ready for reflection. Year after year, the search goes on for "the things that unite us", as our Prime Minister so often puts it. For a while, our national identikit confidently included the "fair go" and "mateship", but there has been a shift. New political and cultural divisions and a growing intolerance towards difference mean such core definitions sit less easily. Our laconic sense of humour, our easygoing attitude to life, our egalitarianism are similarly strained. The Centenary of Federation failed to get the message across that Australians were nation builders and democratic innovators. What else do we have in common, then? Nothing, so it seems, but the land. Not just any land, however. Not the land as we thought of it when Australia rode on the sheep's back, nor the "golden soil and wealth for toil". Not the land on which our cities, parks or farms sit. Only the land we find when we look away from the cities to the bush or, further inward, to the raw, "sunburnt" centre. The land on which, ideally, no human footprint has been left. Australians increasingly define themselves by an association with the untouched, native environment.

Australian Folk Songs songs books records articles ... home A Familiar Air Peter Parkhill shares some insights about the place of music in a multicultural Australian context and about the recordings of performances and interviews which he donated to the National Library's Oral History Collection in 1986 This article first published in National Library of Australia News February 1995, used with kind permission of the author SALMAN RUSHDIE has called our time 'the century of the migrant'. He speaks of an era in which people whose forebears have lived in one place for centuries have been forced to move to industrial towns or cities; either in their own countries or to countries far away, simply to earn enough to live. And the views of millions of people as to which group of people or which community they belong, even who they are, are challenged daily. This question of identity has been a part of the migration experience for many Australians, and prior to the multicultural policies of the Whitlam government, Australian attitudes towards difference as a personal quality were negative in the extreme. For those who arrived here during the 'migration boom' following the Second World War, for example, assimilationist dogma insisted that immigrants to these shores should, and therefore could, abandon every part of their former lives and become 'complete Australians'. As the sociologist Jean Martin put it, quoting a not uncommon view of the time from the lips of an official: a speaker who declared . . . that immigrants 'should be discouraged from retaining their own language, their own customs and traditions, which they should have left behind when they came to Australia'.

Conference Speeches 1995 Global Cultural Diversity Conference Proceedings, Sydney Diversity and the Challenges Facing Asian Cities Today The Management of Diversity in the Asian City Dr Ooi Giok Ling Senior Research Fellow, Institute of Policy Studies, Singapore Introduction The diversity to be found in the cities of Asia includes more than just differences in ethnicity or race. In most cities, class differences are marked even without considering the differences in caste in the cities of India. With the economic boom now concentrated for the most part in cities, people from the countryside are moving in ever larger numbers to cities in search of better incomes and often, improved living standards. Such migration to the cities of China, Indochina and other developing Asian countries has added to the diversity to be found among the urban people of Asia. Then last but not the least, the economic boom has also created the right labour situations in most cities in countries like Japan, Singapore and Malaysia resulting in the international flow of labour from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Myanmar and Thailand.

REACHING AUDIENCES WHEREVER THEY LIVE: THE PUBLIC BROADCASTER DUTY The General Text of an Address given by Russell Balding, Acting Managing Director, The Australian Broadcasting Corporation 1 May 2002 This year, 2002, is the Year of the Outback in Australia, an Australian Government initiative aimed at focusing attention on regional, rural and remote Australia. So it's very appropriate that I should be addressing this audience about the ways in which the ABC broadcasts beyond the cities and extends its reach throughout the entire Australian continent. The ABC has three distinct delivery platforms. Radio, which began in 1932, Television, which has been with us since 1956, and our internet site, ABC Online, which started in 1995. We deliver programming via all three platforms beyond the cities to just about every pocket of the country. With almost 700 combined terrestrial and satellite transmitters, ABC television programs reach more than 96% of the population, and radio more than 98%.

INTRODUCTION DEALING WITH DISTANCE THREE MEANS TO THE SAME END: RADIO, TELEVISION, INTERNET THE NATURE OF THE COMMITMENT ... HOME REACHING AUDIENCES WHEREVER THEY LIVE: THE PUBLIC BROADCASTER DUTY The General Text of an Address given by Russell Balding, Acting Managing Director, The Australian Broadcasting Corporation 1 May 2002 Three Means to the Same End: Radio, Television, Internet So how do we reach these audiences beyond the cities? The economics and technology of television production and broadcasting are such that the ABC operates largely through national and State/Territory services. The ABC relies substantially on radio and increasingly on New Media platforms to provide more localised services to regional, rural and remote areas of Australia. Radio ABC Radio reaches about 98% of Australians, and beyond the cities a suite of five services is available Classic FM for fine music, Radio National for arts and talks, Triple J the youth music network, and NewsRadio, a rolling 24 hour news service. Most relevant to this discussion however, is ABC Local Radio.
