This unit develops students' ability to understand and articulate music's role in cultural, social, and industry contexts, building critical thinking skills essential for informed creative practice. Students explore diverse musical traditions including Australian First Peoples' music, examining how globalisation, technology, race, gender, and economics shape music production and consumption. The unit connects scholarly analysis with practical application, helping students position their own creative work within broader cultural conversations and industry trends.
