Initially, the Faculty consisted only of the Departments of English, History, Philosophy and Modern Languages (Politics was part of the Economics Faculty). During the 1960s and 70s, this expanded to include a range of new disciplines. [2] Some of these, such as sociology and Indonesian, had never previously been taught in Australia.
