This major explores a range of contemporary issues affecting Australian Indigenous peoples' life experiences and aspirations. It provides students with opportunities to engage with both the resilient nature of Australian Indigenous cultures as well as contemporary forms of Indigenous cultural expression, including song, dance, story, art, film and theatre. A range of interdisciplinary conceptual tools is utilised, including critical race theory and emerging Indigenous critical theory, to further the project of decolonising knowledges on and about Indigenous peoples. In so doing, the major also encourages students to examine the issues of personal and national identity, and the relationship between these, themselves and Aboriginality.

This AIS major offers you unique experiences such as being able to:

Participate in a Nyungar cultural immersion course, which includes daytrips to sites of significance around Perth and a four-day down-south field trip (fees apply).
Participate in a work integrated learning opportunity, where you complete an internship with an Indigenous organisation.
Boost your employment prospects

Why not combine your AIS major with a major in Community Development, Law, Psychology, Politics and International Studies, Communication and Media Studies, Sociology, or History?
