Subject Description | This subject will investigate how citizenship has been defined and developed, and human rights protected, within Australia's constitutional democracy. To address these concerns students will investigate questions such as How have Australia's traditions of citizenship and human rights been conceptualised and implemented? How are citizenship and human rights connected with broader issues of democracy and constitutional structure? What is the justification for current criticism of the Australian tradition? Does Australia need to reconceptualise and reform its regimes for citizenship and human rights? Students should gain a critical understanding of contemporary issues concerning citizenship, individual and group rights, Aboriginal self-determination, the impact of globalisation and treaty making, women's rights, multiculturalism and immigration. |
