DESCRIPTION
Explores the nexus between public policy, citizenship and the social positioning of Indigenous Australians. The unit focuses on the role and place of Aboriginal people in historical and contemporary constructs of Australian citizenship. It also examines the emerging debates on the social, political and economic definitions and re-definitions of citizenship. Topics discussed include: power relations and Indigenous political and social rights; Indigenous and non-Indigenous understandings of citizenship; citizenship, reconciliation and Indigenous self-determination; and the shift in welfare policy to the 'new' contractualism. A range of illustrative case studies will be explored, and comparisons will be made with the situation of other Fourth World Indigenous peoples.
