You will have an opportunity to enrich your practical and academic understanding of ways of living with, caring for, and answering the call of Country, ecologies at a local level, in place, whether in Australia or around the world. Together, we will consider the complex historical and contemporary forces driving ecological change, the implications of conservation and environmental heritage, the impacts to and upon practices, policies and livelihoods. This subject will demonstrate how Indigenous knowledges and practices inform and respond to environmental challenges and opportunities into the future.
