This subject includes an excursion onto country for internal students. This will incur
an additional cost to students of up to $100.
This subject focuses on the continuity of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander people, knowledge and traditions across time and place. It explores Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander peoples' traditional understanding of their place in the
world. Students will have opportunities to develop awareness of how traditional knowledge,
forms of social organisation and cultural practices continue to shape contemporary
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge, cultural practices and priorities.
As the gateway subject to the Indigenous Studies major, this subject aims to provide
introductory insights into the diverse and complex traditional knowledge and social
systems, as the basis from which to understand the experience of colonisation and
the contemporary priorities of Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander people, in Level
2 & 3 subjects. This is a first year subject. The subject includes excursion onto
country for internal students for which students will incur an additional cost of
up to $100.
