Indigenous Heritage Management (HINQ301)

Learning outcomes

Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:

1. analyse aspects of the histories of Indigenous heritage management in Australia, and apply specialised knowledge of selected ethical conventions, and conservation and human rights charters, to the investigation of these histories;
2. show evidence of detailed knowledge and understanding of the diversity, character and cultural significance of Indigenous heritage places, landscapes and collections;
3. demonstrate and apply knowledge of key approaches and methods relevant to sensitive cultural heritage research and conservation practice, and convey this knowledge to others;
4. critically analyse a range of case studies of major ‘issues’ in Indigenous heritage management and research, and reflect on the outcomes for stakeholders, particularly Indigenous community members; and
5. construct a well-researched, logically-constructed, and clearly argued written account of the cultural values and heritage significance of a selected Indigenous cultural heritage place, cultural material or collection.
