Julieanne Lamond & Susy Macqueen
This presentation will outline the approach taken by a group in SLLL which has been working since 2021 to support areas in the school in their development of approaches to embedding Indigenous knowledges and perspectives in curricula. SLLL is an interdisciplinary school – our teaching ranges across linguistics, modern European languages, Classics and Literary Studies – and so there is clearly no single or best approach to meaningfully embedding Indigenous knowledges and perspectives in the teaching across these disciplines. Our working group have taken a range of approaches including organising guest speakers and workshops, modelling and discussing best practice, gathering resources and making them available in a Wattle site.
