This course explores some of the structures in place that propel Australian settler-colonialism by analysing the terrains where diverse and complex surviving Indigenous social orders encounter the state in many of its guises. We will experiment with a range of analytical approaches that deconstruct misrepresentations and advance Indigenous perspectives, focussing in particular on the mechanisms that hide ongoing colonialism in plain sight in Australia. These issues can be approached from multiple disciplinary perspectives, in this course we will employ an anthropological lens.
