Indigenous knowledge spans insights, innovations and practices that Indigenous peoples around the world have developed over countless generations, typically in societies with a deep relationship with their natural surroundings. It is applied across a diverse array of fields - including medicine, health, education, development, resource management, agriculture, law and the arts. This distinctive program - the first in Australia to offer studies in Indigenous knowledge as an explicit, interdisciplinary subject area - is designed to recognize and activate Indigenous knowledge, deepen engagement and reciprocal learning with Indigenous communities, and facilitate entry into a PhD program for Indigenous candidates already engaged in research and academia.
