Course description

Are you keen to deepen your understanding of the achievements and contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women in Australia? This course invites you to explore the pivotal roles Indigenous women have played, and continue to play, in the social, political, economic and cultural domain. You will learn from Indigenous women by exploring their role as thought leaders, activists and trailblazers.


This course invites you to: examine seminal work by several Indigenous women; critically analyse mainstream representation of Indigenous women against Indigenous women's own words, accomplishments and epistemologies (ways of knowing); and foster a deeper understanding of the enduring legacy and ongoing contributions of Indigenous women in contemporary society. By engaging with Indigenous women's contributions and accomplishments, you will gain a more nuanced perspective about the transformative impact made by Indigenous women. If you are ready to explore and celebrate the extraordinary contributions of Indigenous women, this course is for you.
