University of Notre Dame

Description:

"Australia is a diverse nation with a dynamic multicultural societ. It also encompasses a wide variety of geographic and ecological zones which offer fascinating case studies in the links between human economic development and the environment. This short course is designed to enhance the learning experience of study abroad students. It is an experiential educational opportunity that allows students to consider and analyse Australian cultural history, the ways in which Australia represents itself on both the national and international stages and the ways in which each of these significant aspects of Australian social life are linked to issues associated with land usage, resource development, ecology, economic development, and tourism. Three weekend tours supported by introductory seminars form the central core of this introduction to Australian cultural life and practices. The educational excursions allow for a wider range of Western Australia's diverse landscape and social life. Over the three weekends we will visit the following regions: Goldfields, the Southwest and the Great Southern Region."
