University of New South Wales
Bachelor of Arts (Indigenous Studies)
Nationally Recognised Higher EducationIndigenous studies develop your understanding of Indigenous situations through critical evaluation of theory and methods across a wide range of academic disciplines. This distinct study area emerged in the second half of the twentieth century in recognition of the limitations and preoccupations of existing research. Indigenous studies organise enquiry around the perspectives and interests of Indigenous peoples themselves.
Learn about Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing; ongoing dilemmas brought by colonisation; and how Indigenous peoples assert cultural and political identities and knowledge today. While our Australian coursework prominently features Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives, Indigenous studies also connect with global First Nations movements and international developments.
