Study Indigenous knowledge, histories and practices
You will develop deep critical thinking and effective communication skills, and be introduced to innovative perspectives on society and the world.
The University offers a number of undergraduate and postgraduate study options focusing on Indigenous thought, culture, history and politics in Australia.
We need to have a paradigm shift; to me the paradigm shift is that we have to see the world as Indigenous people see it.
