See CRICOS-registered alternativesIn Global Migrations, you will study the migrations from Europe, Asia, the Pacific, and Africa, which shaped Australia. We examine how migrations since 1800 occurred in response to labour force needs, resource booms, economic depression, and the effects of war and conflict. We explore forced relocation (convict transportation, slavery and indentured labour); aspirational mobility (gold-seekers, assisted immigrants); and post-war resettlement (displaced persons, refugees, asylum seekers). We consider government attempts to control populations, through immigration law, border control, deportation and internment, as well as challenges to such practices by human rights and justice movements. You will address the effects of racial ideology, gender and class and debate concepts of assimilation and multiculturalism. The subject enables you to develop independent research skills by investigating individual/family migration stories. This is a second level subject. This subject includes live sessions and a field trip with the expectation of student attendance and participation.
