This Program covers study towards the PhD undertaken in Indigenous Studies offered by the Nura Gili Indigenous Programs Unit. Indigenous Studies is an interdisciplinary field of study which engages, contests and builds on earlier understanding of Indigenous societies developed through the disciplines of anthropology, archaeology and linguistics and viewed through the Western imagination.
