More about this course

This fascinating three-week course will explore the contemporary social, cultural, economic and political situations of indigenous peoples all across the globe.
You will be introduced to definitions and parameters of indigenous peoples, and will engage with a wide range of case studies that illustrate indigenous peoples struggles.
Firstly, you will identify numerous past and present definitions of the much-contested phrase indigeneity, and will define the parameters that define indigenous peoples.
You will also engage with a range of case studies that illustrate indigenous peoples struggles, and will examine their relationship between indigenous peoples and non-indigenous peoples all across the globe.
You will then get an insight into the impact of colonialism, imperialism and postcolonial theory for indigenous peoples, as well as the challenges facing indigenous peoples in todays world, such as conflict over land and marine rights, reclamation of pre-colonial political boundaries and entities and co-existence with settler and migrant communities.
By investigating examples of 21st century land use struggles (such as the Brazilian war of survival), the course places a distinct emphasis on how contemporary challenges facing indigenous peoples continue to relate to urgent questions of land and land use.
Throughout the course you will be learning from experts within the field of indigeneity at the University of Newcastle, and will be able to ask them and fellow students for guidance throughout.
