Handbook description

In this subject students learn the normative and legal bases for the protection of Indigenous rights. The objective is not only to understand the legal and political language of Indigenous rights with a view to engaging in the advocacy and debates that promote those rights but also to think critically about these ideas and institutions. Areas investigated include comparative studies of Australian and international cases such as cultural rights, land rights and native title rights and legislation, rights and institutions of self-government, Indigenous land use agreements and joint management strategies, and economic enterprise and social development frameworks and practices.
