This subject examines the complex entanglements of Indigenous and Western systems
of thought, knowledge, and standpoints engaged in scholarly efforts to understand
Indigenous people's contemporary position and policy and practical efforts to bring
about change in Indigenous Australians lives. Students will explore the evolution
of a range of theories and explanatory discourses over time from Western and Indigenous
standpoints and how these attempt to interpret the Indigenous position and shape the
policy and public and political discourse arenas. A focus is placed on how theoretical
frames and assumptions work to enable or constrain real change in the interests of
Indigenous Australians. An equal emphasis is placed on conceptual and textual analysis
and constructive discussion of complex intersections. This is a third year subject.
Learning Outcomes
- identify within a range of texts and oral discussions the presence of theoretical
positions and their assumptions being applied in debates and arguments;
- synthesise and critically analyse a range of theoretical positions and assumptions
applied in scholarly and public debates for their limits and possibilities for supporting
Indigenous interests;
- reflect on the limits of their own knowledge, understanding and standpoints;
- apply productive dispositions and communication skills required to discuss and navigate
complex knowledge intersections in professional and other everyday spaces, appropriate
to Level 3 study.
