Welcome to Sydneysider! Check back in early January as our posts from Australia get underway.
From January 2-19, this blog will follow the adventures of a University of Maryland education-abroad class in Australia. An immersion into Australian culture and history, the course will explore the literature, dance, theater, and arts of Indigenous and contemporary Australia. We will look back to the colonial founding of Australia as a British outpost and consider how modern Australia has emerged from a mixing of Western and Indigenous cultures.
