Content
This unit will examine contested ideas and theories of knowledge construction within Indigenous Standpoint theories. This will include discussion and interrogation of the limitation of binaries, potentially false dichotomies of opposing ideas, and challenging elements of research paradigms in the Indigenous space. This will also include mediation between different forms of knowledge, and the tensions created at the cultural interface of different knowledge systems, and ideologies nationally and internationally. Additionally, conflicted spaces will be debated and stances on topics such as insider/outsider issues, place vs space, revisionism vs amnesia, and other contested issues.
