The Australian Settlement

SOCY2033 - THE SOUNDTRACK

Over the years, students have suggested a variety of Australian songs from different genres that relate to the content of the course and the ideas contained therein.

Please feel free to make your own suggestions to your tutor and we will incorporate your ideas into the Soundtrack.

Requests can also be made for songs to be played prior to lecture starting.

This compilation does not necessarily reflect the taste of any of your tutors or the course coordinator, but we have included more than our fair share.
