IA3007 - Linking Indigenousness 3

Credit points:	03
Year:	2005
Student Contribution Band:	Band 1
Administered by:

Available to Bachelor of Indigenous Studies students and other undergraduate students.

Students will engage in a teacher/learner relationship with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples in order to develop knowledge and understandings which will enable them to develop a deeper understanding of Indigenous Australian communities. The information provided by the Aboriginal or Torres Strait Island peoples teaching this subject will enhance the student's capacity to analyze issues from a different cultural perspective within the context of Indigenous lifestyle pre-contact with European people, initial contact and post-contact situations. It is intended that the focus of this subject will be determined by the Indigenous Australians providing the information. This will not only reflect the diversity of the Indigenous Australian experience but will also enable students to gain valuable insights into the dynamic nature of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. As this subject is conducted in relative isolation, students will be encouraged to consider the social construction of the specific learning environment and the power dynamics attached to the way in which they have "positioned" themselves within the group.
