Indigenous studies Indigenous knowledges units
Indigenous Studies Indigenous Knowledge (ISIK) units encourage students to critically reflect on their own understandings and challenge them to develop personal standpoints as they examine the limitations of dominant perspectives in the Australian society. ISIK draws on Indigenous knowledge systems and standpoints while disrupting and critiquing existing systems of knowing and being.
Our pedagogical and assessment strategies, informed by Indigenous epistemologies and ontologies, stimulate student reflections upon notions of identity, history, nationalism and culture. Students navigate multiple entry and exit points for learning, as Indigenous perspectives and pedagogies are non-linear with no pre-determined endpoint. ISIK reauthorises Indigenous knowledge and maintains its own standpoint against contestation.
ISIK inspires to facilitate cultural competency and cultural safety as students develop their capabilities to enter the professions.
