Course Outline and Method

There is a growing emphasis on the need to consider Australian history from multiple perspectives of people with different cultural backgrounds. One of these perspectives is that of Aboriginal Australians, and Australian history has been reinvestigated through Aboriginal Australians’ perspective. Students will explore a basic history of Aboriginal Australians since British colonization to 2008, which is when the then Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd apologised to Aboriginal Australians. It also aims to provide a global comparative perspective to connect Aboriginal Australian history to other aboriginal people (e.g., Ainu in Japan).

Student Attainment Objectives

Upon completion of this course students should be able to

1) to understand modern history of Asia through international migration and mobilities.
2) to understand how migration and mobilities were created in Asia and in global history.
3) to be able to discuss history of various types of international migration in Asia and the Pacific.
4) to analyse history of international migration from a multifaceted and multi-dimensional perspective, without reducing it to one single factor, and to understand nuances and contestation of such histories.

12	Project Proposals and Scheduling of Presentations
12	The lecture of this session provides instructions for writing a project proposal. The aim of writing a project proposal is to provide an initial opportunity for students to start thinking about a research topic. After Session 10, students will start preparing their project proposal (See Course schedule). The proposal will be submitted after Session 12 through the learning system. The instructions for writing the proposal will be uploaded on the learning system. Topic: You can choose a topic of your interest for your proposal. However, the topic must fall within the course content (Modern History of Japanese Migration and Diasporas). This same topic must be used throughout your research project: i.e. you use it for your proposal, your presentation and your final essay. This topic must be well focused and substantial enough to fill 2500 words (±10%), without bringing less pertinent information just to fill in the word length. An extremely broad topic (e.g., a brief history of Zainichi Koreans) will not be accepted as a project topic. Proposal length: No more than three A4 pages + a separate reference list (not included in the three- page limit) Template for the proposal: will be uploaded on the learning system Submission mode: Word Document (so the course convenor can provide comments) Structure of proposal: - Title - Brief abstract of your project (max 200 words) - Background (i.e., literature review) - Research gap, research questions - Methods & Methodology - Structure - References Citations and References style: in line with current professional standards. (i.e., APA/Chicago/Harvard Style). References: your references need to include academic literature (e.g., journal articles, book chapters and books).
13	Writing up Project Proposal

Presentation structure: 10 min presentation + 5 min Q&A Presentation format: PPT Presentation topic: must be the same as your project proposal. Q&A Discussion: presenting students will be provided with comments and feedback both from students and the lecturer to improve the project. Notes for presenters - You are encouraged to develop your presentation based on the feedback on your proposal from the course convenor. - Please provide a well-focused and well-thought through presentation, in order not to waste your fellow classmates’ time. Notes for the audience - The other students are expected to provide active, constructive and meaningful feedback in an academic manner. - Please provide well-summarised and meaningful questions for the presenters.
