Indigenous Justice Issues HAB308
Introduction
This interdisciplinary unit engages students in a detailed study of Indigenous experience of social and legal systems from invasion/colonisation to the present day. Beginning with the global historical context, the unit traces the ongoing struggle for Indigenous justice from the violent colonial frontier to the era of social media. The unit explores issues including Land Rights and Native Title, criminal justice, Indigenous ownership of intellectual and cultural property, and treaty negotiations at the local and national levels. Where appropriate, comparisons are drawn from the experience of Indigenous people in other places.
