Fall Semester Courses

Anthropology

Traditional Australian Indigenous Cultures, Societies and Environment

Course Description:

Pre-invasion Indigenous cultures have long been seen as the social, economic, and ecological prototype of the hunting and gathering way of life. The aim of this course is to convey a basic anthropological understanding of the customary or ‘traditional’ practices and beliefs as they were at the threshold of colonization and to critically engage with representations while respecting First Peoples' insights and perspectives. We will focus on relationality, and in particular the multiple ways in which connectivity underpins Indigenous worldviews. Exploring these issues also means exploring the intellectual struggles non-Indigenous people have had and continue to have to come to terms with Indigenous societies and cultures, as well as understanding why and how Indigenous social and cultural practices capture the scholarly imagination.

Indigenous Research: Practice, Collaboration and Ethics

Course Description:

This course centres on how and why Indigenous research is different and important. It is suitable for students without any prior knowledge. It is a practical, introductory research course that introduces students to the principles of Indigenous research: practices, collaboration and ethics. This course is suitable for students who are considering working in Indigenous policy, organisations and research contexts. This course provides practical lessons about what constitutes good research practice and how to engage ethically in Indigenous spaces. It facilitates more respectful and meaningful engagement with (and between) Indigenous peoples, knowledges and ways of knowing and greater insight into the relevance of Indigenous perspectives in every sphere of knowledge and practice. Students are introduced to Indigenous perspectives about ways of doing Indigenous research. This includes developing knowledge about relationship building and how to undertake Indigenous research in a safe and ethical manner in accordance with Indigenous protocols. Students learn about the history of and developments in Indigenous research and how Indigenous knowledges and methodologies have challenged and changed Indigenous research practices within and outside academia. Students will be introduced to aspects of research design and practice, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed method approaches for engaging in Indigenous research, including what is the difference, and what are the similarities, between indigenous and general research methods (including traditional and de-colonised methods). Students will also learn about the nuances and distinctions in ‘insider’ and ‘outsider’ and even ‘outsider/insider’ researcher identities and understanding how and in what context each of the researcher’s identity is appropriate. Like other courses in Indigenous studies, this course ‘de-centres’ Western knowledge, theories and methodology, and disrupts Western perspectives on Indigenous knowledges and ways of knowing. The course will be taught by Indigenous scholars and professionals who are experts in these areas, with non-Indigenous academics experienced in applying qualitative and quantitative methods to Indigenous research playing an active role in the course delivery.

Issues in International Political Economy

Course Description:

The study of International Political Economy (IPE) examines the interactions between markets and politics. Is globalisation responsible for the rise of populism in the West? How will the power struggle between China and the United States shape global business? This course introduces students to the key concepts and theories of IPE in order to analyse and understand these pressing issues and questions facing policymakers and citizens. IPE is an interdisciplinary academic field within international relations which draws inputs from international politics and international economics to examine the dynamic linkages between markets, states and institutions, and civil society in the regional and global context. This course explores topics such as globalization, international trade, finance, debt, foreign direct investment, development, international migration, and consequences and controversies of globalisation. The first half of the course provide a foundation for the study of International Political Economy (IPE); in the remaining weeks, students will have the opportunity to vote for their topics of interest from a range of contemporary international questions of interest viewed through an IPE lens.

Course Description:

Have you ever watched a crime show on TV and wondered just how DNA forensic analysis really works? Does everyone really have a unique DNA fingerprint? Have you been tempted to spend $100 to get your own DNA tested? If so, did you know that your test results could help you to trace your ethnic background, find missing relatives and even help the police find a murderer? Have you ever wondered why you are a similar height to your siblings - is it because of your genes, or because of the environment you grew up in? Why do traits vary even when their underlying DNA sequence is exactly the same? What role does genetics play in your risk of developing diseases such as diabetes? This course will introduce you to the principles of population, evolutionary and quantitative genetics. We do this by asking: what can we learn from DNA? In answering this question, we focus on the practical applications of the theory illustrated by human forensic DNA analysis, conservation genetics and evolutionary genetics. In the practical component of the course, students will gain hands-on experience in human forensic DNA profiling in the laboratory, as well as statistical analysis skills across a range of genetic topics. Other topics covered include Next Generation Sequencing and its emerging and far reaching applications in human forensics and conservation genetics; and genetic adaptation including epigenetics and plasticity.

Linguistics

Forensic Linguistics: Forensic Voice and Text Comparison

Course Description:

Recorded speech and written texts are increasingly presented as scientific evidence in legal cases. This is due to the fact that the accessibility and anonymity of mobile phones and the internet mean that they are often exploited for criminal acts, but at the same time they leave records which must then be analysed as forensic evidence. This has led to a rapid growth of forensic voice/text comparison as a field of forensic science. The theories and techniques, which are necessary to analyse linguistic evidence, are introduced and demonstrated, with a particular focus on voice and text as linguistic evidence, using examples taken from various languages. In this course, we overview the process of forensic voice/text comparison, including extraction of individualising information from speech/text samples; modelling of speakers/authors, experimental procedures; calculation of evidential strength and performance assessment. Students will be trained so that they can apply their acquired skills and knowledge to actual linguistic data.
