Overview
Students will explore how Indigenous values inform governance processes, development strategies and future planning for Indigenous peoples. Discussion of key case studies and a research module will deepen understandings of Indigenous strategy.
This paper engages with ideas of Indigenous development, governance and ethics through learning about how cultural, social, environmental and economic variables work towards effecting intergenerational development for Indigenous peoples. In this course, students will build skills in identifying problems and finding solutions for Indigenous governance and ethics through discussions of key case studies from the Māori, Pacific and wider Indigenous worlds. Student assessment will focus on a research case study and/or topic of the student's choosing at the beginning of the course. Students will then formulate clear research questions explore indigenous scholarship, and engage in discussion with their peers in order to examine issues of development, governance and ethics in their chosen case study. This will culminate in a final research essay.
