The Bachelor of Global Indigenous Studies program is an interdisciplinary program that studies the history and core learning principles of the discipline of Indigenous Studies. It also explores how critical and creative thinking occurs within Indigenous Studies. Engaging in the course learning will encourage students to consider the complexity of debates within the discipline given the historical importance of issues such as ‘Indigenous identity, culture and knowledges’ with particular awareness of our increasingly connected world. Students will engage with informed, present-day debates about Indigenous knowledges and Indigenous people primarily, but not exclusively in the Australian context, including exploring major concepts and projects underpinning the discipline such as decolonisiation, identity cultures, language revitalisation, and representation.
