About this book
Reviews
“A must read for anyone working in Australian academia, and overseas, who is trying to navigate teaching students First Nation’s and Indigenous Knowledge Systems content respectfully! This book offers a detailed exemplar of how to proceed, but more importantly, has the first handvoices of students who have clearly had a value changing experience from learning within this exemplar.” (Norm Sheehan, Honorary Professor of Indigenous Knowledge, University of Queensland, Australia)
“Following on from the multi-peer-awarded Re-casting Terra Nullius Blindness (2017), this book reviews in detail one of the teaching exemplars that was identified in this project. The dearth of benchmark learning exemplars in enabling respect and learning in Indigenous Knowledge Systems in Australia has historically been lacking, in deference to much discourse about cultural competency training that is short memory lived, lacks the immersive depth of inquiry and appreciation offered in this exemplar, but also fail to recognise that Australia’s tertiary education sector is heavily laden full of non-Australians possessing little comprehension of their own nation’s deep histories and meanings, landscapes and cultures. This book is high priority reading for anyone teaching in tertiary education navigating First Nations themes.” (Darryl Low Choy AO, MBE, RFD, Professor Emeritus, Griffith University, Australia)
