Indigenous Knowledges

What it covers

This unit provides a unique opportunity to examine Indigenous knowledge systems and their relationship to those of the West. It highlights the role of Indigenous peoples as knowledge producers rather than subjects. Tracing the continuity of Indigenous knowledge systems, the unit also draws on principles of Western philosophies to encourage students to investigate its role in addressing and understanding contemporary global conditions. It enables students to appreciate Indigenous ways of knowing, being, learning and doing, and examines how Indigenous knowledge systems have been devalued through racialised practices. It also explores decolonising theories and methodologies as they apply to research.
