Bachelor of Arts with a major in Indigenous Studies

Indigenous studies is a diverse, interdisciplinary area of study, drawing on a large body of global literature. This major is underpinned by two key principles: Indigenous people as agents of their own destinies within the post-colonial era, and the valuing of Indigenous perspectives and voices. There is also a strong focus on working effectively and ethically with Indigenous people and Indigenous research methodologies. This major is offered by the Department of Indigenous Studies, which offers units to students seeking greater knowledge of Australian and other Indigenous societies and cultures.
