Teaching

Cultural Heritage Unit staff contribute to the teaching of a range of subjects across the history curriculum in regional, urban and Australian history, material culture, cultural heritage interpretation, and history fieldwork subjects.

Through the Public History & Heritage program, students are offered the opportunity to develop skills in historical research, analysis, interpretation and communication that are required for successful work as practising historians outside academia.

These programs are grounded in Australian history, but locate that history within broader geographical, temporal and theoretical frameworks. The Unit supports an active and wide-ranging research community of research fellows and post-graduate scholars. The Unit offers specialist coursework options for undergraduate students, and ‘hands-on’ history fieldwork through the Community Access Program.
