| Unit Description |
This unit complements HIST150. It introduces a variety of events and issues which have influenced the lives of Australians during the 20th and into the 21st centuries, and the continuing historiographical debates which surround them. It also introduces the variety of sources and methods used to study modern Australian history. Through case studies and detailed source analysis students will learn about topics such as the modern family, Australians at war, immigration, political life, leisure and pleasure, depressions and recessions, and popular culture. Learning will be assessed through online quizzes, a research and essay planning exercise, and a formal essay.
