Chile: The Land at the End of the World

In this intensive four-week subject, “Chile: The Land at the End of the World”, we will travel to various locations in and around Santiago de Chile, each site selected for the unique story it tells about the political, social and/or cultural formation of the Chilean identity and experience. Students will gain specialised insight into Chile’s positioning as an actor within Latin American and global discourses and be led to reflect on Australia’s connections with this Southern Cone nation. Through a combination of course work; hands-on engagement with local social organisations; and cultural activities including musical, artisan and culinary events, students will be equipped with conceptual and practical tools for developing intercultural sensitivity and cultural humility in their interactions with other cultures and histories.
