WEEK 12 TUTORIAL: People and Place
(31 May – )
Tutorial question
What has been the relationship between race, conservation
and economic growth in shifting attitudes to immigration
and the environment in Australia since 1980?
Account for the growth in environmentalism since the
1960s. Has opposition to immigration been more a product
of racism or a recognition of the limits of the Australian
environment? What are the similarities and differences
between environmental and historical conservation? How
do attitudes to both immigration and the environment
relate to traditional patterns in Australian attitudes?
Which social groups align with which sides of recent
debates about immigration and the environment? What
has been the impact of the Greens, and who do they represent?
What is happening to the Australian population today?
To the environment? What is the solution? How do you
account for the apparent political success of policies
targeting refugees and boat people?
