Indigenous Knowledges in Latin America and Australia: Locating Epistemologies, Difference and Dissent
The University of Sydney
Sydney, AU
December 8, 2011 – December 10, 2011
This symposium, to be held at the University of Sydney, relates to the place of Indigenous Knowledges in Higher Education, and approaches to the same across different cultural contexts. The symposium and planned workshop will bring together Indigenous educators and intellectuals from Latin America to Sydney to meet with interested Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander educators, scholars and activists, as well as non-Indigenous practitioners and allies, to discuss different models and approaches of Indigenous Knowledge and Education in the tertiary sector and beyond.
This project aims at helping educators and researchers in the Higher Education sector of Australia and Latin America to identify opportunities for integrating in their research and teaching and learning relevant aspects of Indigenous Knowledges in the areas of culture, education and sustainability.
