The migration and displacement of peoples since the beginning of colonialism, including migration to Australia, has resulted in the establishment of global diaspora communities. Both forced and voluntary migrations have created different experiences of identity, nationality, home and place, resulting in a range of creative expressions in literature and other artistic forms. This unit will examine a range of literary texts, film and selected visual texts in order to develop deeper understandings of the experience of migration and exile. There will be opportunity for students to position and understand their own cultural or family experiences in these contexts. -- Course Website
