Arts General

Semester Two

We're going on a Monster Hunt! The theme around which the course is based is “Monsters in the Mirror”. A critical examination of identities and the ways we see ourselves and others are at its heart. This is an interdisciplinary, skills-based course with input from guest lecturers across Arts and Arts related faculties. Through fairy tales to witch hunts to things that go BUMP in the night, the course focuses on research skills and the introduction of different disciplinary approaches from the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities.
