SYDI SOAN 295S Australian Sport: The Fabric of Society and National Events 

Australia is an extremely eclectic nation, born from the unique indigenous peoples of the land, to the arrival of Europeans via colonization, to the tremendous multicultural society produced via the depth of immigration over the past century. During that time, sport has been integral to the development of the country. Often described as societies great leveler, sport in Australia has provided a landscape of familiarity, regardless of heritage; religion or cultural beliefs. It has allowed society to challenge bias, identify and confront discrimination and provide integration, although inevitably inequalities occur.

Sport in Australia is a machine based on narrative, and for Australians that machine is prolific. Events surrounding these sporting contests are revered; embraced annually or every two to four years. The Australian imagination is crowded with stories drawn from sporting events, many that have challenged the establishment and changed rules to specific sports. Prolific events have been established to support these sporting fixtures, providing an ingrained sense of wellbeing and wondrous sense of pride and unity within the framework of Australian culture.

SYDI hsaa294S INDIGENOUS AUSTRALIA: COUNTRY, KIN, AND CULTURE

Indigenous Australia examines global questions of diversity, difference
and social justice through the specific experiences and initiatives of Australian
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Through formal learning and cultural
exchange, this general education course looks to the future of the longest continuing
cultures on earth; from the ancient sea voyaging colonists, to early regional
engagements, through the violence and dispossession of foreign occupancy, frontier
defiance, civil rights and citizenship struggles, to postcolonial recovery and renewal. As
such, the sustained political resistance and successful revival of modern day Indigenous
Australians is a compelling story of philosophical magnitude.
