HHB122
Colonialism
and Independence in the Asia-Pacific
1 Rationale The assumption of foreign rule and colonialism in all its forms - Protectorate, Condominium, Crown Colony, Mandate, Trusteeship, Compact, Free Association, Commonwealth, Pays Outre Mer, Territory and Statehood – affected all Islands and archipelago in Oceania during the 19th C and continues into the 21st C. Foreign rule, by invitation or by possession continues in West Papua, New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna, American Samoa, French Polynesia, Easter Island, Hawaii, Guam and CNMI. Decolonisation has not been achieved by all entities. The gaining of self-government and then independence has been described as a return of sovereignty. The Oceania of 1840 (at the time of the first annexation – of Aotearoa/NZ by Great Britain) is amazingly different yet in many ways similar to the Oceania of the new millennium, despite the arrival and departure of foreign rule. The end of colonialism and the gaining of Independence have not necessarily brought prosperity and security or strengthened cultural traditions but post-independence Oceania is dynamic, changing and complex and continues to entangle the histories of several European, Asia and Latin American powers with old and new polities and entities across the region. In 2002 this unit focuses on Oceania. It is offered as an elective in the International and Global Studies, Society and Change and History discipline majors.

sovereignty
Imperialism, Colonialism,
independence – the global context
Case studies from Oceania – Fiji, Vanuatu, West Papua, Colonial practice; Netherlands, Indonesia, France, Germany, Japan, Britain, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Chile Indigenous responses Decolonisation and nation status 4 Approaches to teaching and learning This unit is offered as a series of thirteen weeks of lectures, tutorials and student presentations. To achieve the objectives students will undertake a sequenced program that incorporates debates in historiography, methodology and research, film, documentaries and archival evidence. There will be an emphasis on shared-learning, as well as independent study and teacher-learner interaction. 6 Plagiarism
and Copied Papers Unethical and dishonest practices will not be tolerated. Plagiarism, copied papers and cheating are such offences. Plagiarism, as defined in the QUT Handbook, is the act of taking and using another person’s work as one’s own. Note also that students who copy each other’s papers are engaged in a form of cheating, and the original – as well as all copies – of a paper will be subject to penalties. The University has formal disciplinary procedures that will be followed in these circumstances (for further details refer to the 2002 QUT Handbook) 7 Availability for Examinations The
School expects that students will make themselves available for examinations
both during teaching time and in the examination period following the
conclusion of classes. Applications for
Examinations outside specified times will only be accepted in exceptional
circumstances and involve the lodging of the appropriate form – QUT forms for
‘deferred exams’ for centrally based exams and the School form for School based
exams including mid-semester exams.
Claims for such circumstances must be accompanied by appropriate
substantiating documentation such as: doctors’ certificates that indicate the
nature and duration of a medical condition; statutory declarations that
indicate a significant problem and letters from employing authorities etc.
Students may make applications for up to two sets of deferred/early
examinations in their course career – that is, they can only seek
deferred/early exams for some or all of their units in two semesters. Further applications for deferred/early
examinations (beyond the two sets allowed) will be thoroughly scrutinised. Such students will be required to provide
additional documentation and attend a meeting with the Undergraduate Studies
Coordinator and or Head of School to discuss their circumstances. When such applications are successful,
students may be required to take the exam(s) during the examination period in
the next (following) semester. 8 Late
Submission of Assignments Extensions of time for assignment submission will only be granted in exceptional circumstances. To seek an extension, students must lodge an Extension Request Form and direct it to the appropriate Unit coordinator. These forms are available from the School office and on line from the School website. Extensions should be sought as early as possible in the semester and prior to the submission date. When faced why extraordinary circumstance, students should lodge an Extension Request Form as close to the submission date as possible. Requests for extensions must be lodged in hard copy at the School Office and be accompanied by supporting documentation such as Doctor’s Certificates which indicate the nature and duration of medical conditions; statutory declarations which indicate significant problems; and letters from employing authorities, etc. Lecturers may also require that such documentation include evidence of work that the student has completed on the assignment for which the extension is sought. Late submissions – i.e., assessment items submitted after the due date without an extension of time - will be penalised as follows: · Assignments submitted within 5 working days following the due date – a deduction of 10% per day of the marks due for that assessment item; · Assignments submitted within 6 or more working days after the due date will not be accepted. 9 Non-Discriminating
Language Students are expected to use non-discriminatory, inclusive language in all assessment and learning situations. Students should ensure that written and oral language does not devalue, demean or exclude individuals or groups on the basis of attributes such as gender, disability, culture, race, religion, sexuality, age or physical appearance. 10 Assessment Assessment
items offer an opportunity to present orally (in seminar format) and complete
written examinations (short answer mid-semester test and essay format final
examination). All items must be submitted to obtain a grade of “4” or better.
All items are an individual assignment. Three assessment instruments will be
utilised, addressing the Objectives, and weighted as follows:
The examination is a summative
assessment of concepts, understanding, knowledge and skills developed
during the unit. Formative assessment occurs throughout the unit, but
particularly in the consultation, drafting, presentation and feedback
associated with the student discussions and formal essay. 11 Student
Presentation The presentation in weeks 3-10 is an individual or paired assignment of 50 minutes (30%). If presented in pairs the presentation is worth 20% and each student submits an individual 500-word summary of the chapter/essay in the week following the presentation (10%). See below for the list of essays/chapters for the student presentations. The topics range across different scholarly dimensions of the annexation-colonialism-independence spectrum. The presentation is an oral activity, but visual materials may be used to support the analysis of the topic and to initiate involvement by the class. Criteria
