Syllabus (HB) - C2010:	This unit examines some major Australian history texts and the ways these have been challenged by fresh perspectives on what is significant and important in Australia's history. Students will be involved in historical debates on a range of issues, including the 're-writing' of history t include previously overlooked or marginalised aspects; literary hoaxes such as Angry Penguins, The Hand that Signed the Paper, or Wanda Koolmatrie, and cultural or political scandals (the Petrovs, 'Blue Poles', the Evans-Kernot affair). Students can reflect on such major changes as the increasingly multi-cultural nature of Australian society, and an emerging Australian nationalism.
To ensure that the most up-to-date information about unit references, texts and outcomes appears, they will be provided in your unit outline prior to commencement.
