This unit explores how literature has produced, reflected and challenged the idea of Australia. Examining a diverse range of historical and contemporary texts including work by First Nations and diasporic writers, students will engage critically and creatively with Australian literature as a complex ecology of ideas that influences how we interact with and understand concepts such as place, environment, nature, community, and nation.
