This course provides the opportunity for students to study war's conduct and aftermath through an intensive off-campus study experience, which may occur in Australia or overseas. Topics will vary but the emphasis of this course will be in observing and analysing former theatres of war, and material and non-material culture of affected populations, to develop a deep understanding of warfare as a human phenomenon. While contextual learning will take place at ANU, the bulk of the teaching will take place during the off-campus study tour.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- Analyse the casues, conduct and consequences of war on states, societies and cultures.
- Employ historical and interdisciplinary approaches to explore the political, military, social and cultural impacts of war.
- Construct evidence-based arguments or narratives in audio, digital, oral, visual or written form and express these confidently and concisely.
Indicative Assessment
- Assessment will vary depending on the structure and topic of the course but is likely to consist of mixture of a student's contribution to group learning, individual or group presentations, a research project and/or a reflective exercise. (null) [LO null]
