Author Description

[http://www.cdu.edu.au/cdupress/indigenous-issues-in.htm] This collection of essays by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars offers a range of perspectives on issues confronting Indigenous students, staff and Indigenous studies in Australian higher education. It is multidisciplinary covering topics ranging from law, history, feminism, business, health and education as well as cultural awareness and safety and is an indicator of the dynamism that exists within and across institutions which aim to promote and support the development of Indigenous higher eduction. The collection offers both theoretical explorations of issues relevant to Indigenous students, staff and studies as well as practical examples, personal reflections and case studies of programs and services which suggest the potential for ongoing and future research and practice.
