EV3252 - Indigenous Environmental Management

Credit points: 03
Year: 2018
Student Contribution Band: Band 2
Administered by: College of Science and Engineering

This subject explores Indigenous people's role in environmental management in both Australia and across the world. Students obtain an introduction to core issues and concepts that reflect and access Indigenous perspectives on environmental management issues through a 4-day field trip, and an off-campus 8 week self-study program inclusive of pre-recorded lectures and readings. The field trip will enable students to meet with traditional owners in Far North Queensland and take part in learning discussions and activities related to Indigenous perspectives and goals in environmental management of their ancestral lands. Students are subsequently guided towards resources to enable them to synthesise their new understandings and complete the assessment requirements.
