This multidisciplinary course provides students with a study of Australian society, past and present. Students will consider the major social, political and cultural themes of contemporary Australian society and how they have been shaped by past policies and practice. Of particular importance will be the question of human rights for indigenous people, for those seeking asylum and for marginalized groups excluded from accessing their share of the spoils of the 'lucky country'. The course will also examine Australia's role in global affairs, and students will be expected to make a comparison to other political and cultural trends worldwide, particularly in the light of the war in Iraq. This course aims to: 1) Provide a broad introduction to contemporary Australian society; 2) Explore historical encounters between indigenous and non-indigenous people; 3) Develop an appreciation of Indigenous responses to colonization and the continuing struggle for indigenous rights and justice; 4) Provide and understanding of the way the Australian identity and landscape have been shaped by an emerging nationalism; 5) Analyze the cultural diversity of contemporary Australia; 6) Consider the dominant cultural and political trends emerging by the 21st century in contemporary Australia, and, 7) Examine Australia's contemporary responses to United Nations conventions, protocols and treaties.

The Academic Project is the core assessment component of the workplace experience of the Sydney Semester Internship Program. The outcome of this component is a major piece of written work that is planned, researched and prepared during the course of the internship. Ideally, it should link in some way to the work that the student is engaged in at the workplace, with academic work the student is undertaking whist in Australia. It may also link to prior studies. An academic supervisor is provided for each student. The student will see their supervisor several times throughout the course of the program. This project is presented and defended during the final week's oral presentation. (Sydney, Australia, http://www.arcadia.edu/abroad/auSydneyInternship)

This course has been developed to allow students to survey and explore differences in cultural values across the Asian-Australian region. The course is multi-disciplinary in nature. It focuses on perceptions, stereotypes, sets of socio-cultural values such as Confucianism, and how they are affected by urbanisation, modernisation, internationalisation and the growth of cyberspace. The course includes an examination of the theory and practice of inter-cultural understanding that provides students with the opportunity to better understand some contemporary issues in the region, such as those entailing different conceptions of human rights, the role of the media and acceptable cultural mores. A variety of teaching and learning strategies will be employed. The course is made relevant by accelerated trends towards internationalisation, including the increased mobility of peoples, the growth of a global "pop" culture and the rapid development of communication technologies. Asia is increasingly important as the focus of these developments as is evident through the growth in importance of Asian economies in the 21st century and by the accelerating role of Asian states in international affairs.
