Reconstructing Indigenous Identities (3034LHS)

This course will explore Indigenous Standpoint in relation to Indigenous identities in a socio-political context. Students will gain an understanding of government policies introduced to manage this relationship and the responses by Indigenous peoples to these policies and practice frameworks. The course will explore and challenge theoretical and cultural perspectives that underpin and describe both the policies being pursued and Indigenous engagement within them. Lectures and tutorials will examine the values and political philosophy that directed and gave shape to these social and political movements and, in particular, Indigenous demands, investment and ownership in the continuing process of liberalisation.
