Study within the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities aims to make meaning of the world, through explorations of cultures, art and media. This unit helps students develop the critical thinking and writing skills needed for university through exploring contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander popular culture. Students examine music, sport, superheroes, and comedy through Indigenous Futurism, learning to analyse pop culture and hone their creativity and academic communication skills. The unit introduces key concepts like sovereignty, identity, and representation, opening pathways to courses in media, literature, visual/performing arts, and social sciences.

Breaches of academic integrity can include:
Serious outcomes may be imposed if a student is found to have committed one of these breaches, up to and including a suspension or an expulsion from the University for repeated or serious acts.
