Australia's Politics of Migration, Inclusion and Belonging 2100-ERASMUS-AUSTP
This course examines the issues arising at the intersection of migration, diaspora, identity and
belonging, addressing the questions such as how boundaries defining belonging form and operate,
how migration experiences, representations, laws and politics affect national and transnational
identities, how identities constructed within and across borders influence foreign policy, diplomacy
and external relations. On the case study of Australia, the course will explore:
- Australia’s history and politics of migration
- postcolonialism and Australia’s identity politics
- memory politics and reconciliation (settlers, migrants, Indigenous Australians)
- issues of inclusion/exclusion, cultural diversity, transnationalism, multiculturalism
- the influence of migration and diaspora communities on international politics, economic relations,
and cultural exchanges
