Aboriginal Women: Activism & Leadership

Aboriginal Women: Activism & Leadership is an interdisciplinary subject exploring the diverse roles Aboriginal women have played in Indigenous and Settler societies. You will have the opportunity to investigate historical and contemporary issues and the activism and leadership that Aboriginal women have undertaken. You will learn about activism and leadership, agency, and power from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous standpoints. Through teachings, readings, and assessment tasks you will come to know a wide range of Aboriginal women who are too often silenced or made invisible through societal structures and colonisation.
