As the Capstone Subject for the Indigenous Studies major, this subject is designed
to consolidate and bring together students' learning from previous subjects. The Capstone
aims to build on students' appreciation of the implications of Indigenous knowledge
continuities, ruptures and convergences in relation to their disciplines and future
professional practice. Through supported participation in difficult dialogues, the
capstone will provide students with opportunities to link theory to practice through
practical engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people or organisations
or practical issues in professional contexts. Seminar, scenario and project-based
approaches to learning will provide hypothetical and real opportunities for students
to practice navigating the tensions and complexities at the interface of Indigenous
and non-Indigenous understandings. This is a third year subject.
Learning Outcomes
- critically analyse theoretical positions and contests in Indigenous Studies and its
intersections with their disciplines;
- apply their knowledge and skills through the demonstration of a productive disposition
to effectively engage and navigate the tensions and complexities at the interface
of Indigenous and Western knowledges and practices;
- communicate extensive knowledge and understanding of the continuities, ruptures, and
convergences that constitute the contemporary Indigenous position.
