This course explores and critically examines Indigenous education in Australia. It introduces Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories, cultures and languages and examines the ongoing impacts of colonisation on Indigenous communities in Australia. The course investigates the contemporary and historical educational experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people by analysing Indigenous education in relation to policy, aspirations and theoretical frameworks. A key component of this course is developing individual and professional subject positions in relation to Australian educational and social contexts, enabling respectful engagement with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, knowledges and cultures and the informed use of culturally responsive teaching practices.
