Course details

This course concerns the opportunities and challenges that face todays indigenous people in various parts of the world. Students will be required to consider relevant indigenous experiences while also learning about diverse social structures, cultural adaptation, historical injustices and the prospects for recognition, reconciliation and redress. Some of the other general concepts to be elucidated and applied include those of human dignity, self-determination, development and human rights. Students will thereby come to express themselves with lucidity and insight about controversies concerning cultural relativism, contrasting narratives, competing loyalties, pragmatism, paternalism, fanaticism, foreign aid and notions of progress.
