| Notes: |
Australia as a social and cultural laboratory?
How deserved was the description of Australia as a 'social laboratory leading the world' during the early years of this century?
How important is the model of the 'social laboratory' for Australia today?
How responsive has culture been in Australia in taking up the challenge of the modern?
Do Australian Studies represent a new change for progressive social change in Australia?
These are just some of the questions addressed by this collection of essays taken from the highly successful Conference 'Australia as a social and cultural laboratory?' held at the University of Queensland in 1988.
Includes bibliographical references.
