Course overview
This course aims to utilise land-based learning to explore connections to space, place and belonging informed by old knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who have been caring for and living sustainably on Country for thousands of years. The course explores Indigenous philosophies, knowledges, systems and processes as they apply to country, land and the environment to position Indigenous Worldviews as legitimate bodies of knowledge. By examining Indigenous systems of knowledge and their development across millennia students will gain insight and clarification of the practical, conceptual and spiritual role of Country within Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
