Where
have we been? Pretty much submerged in the development of proposal for a Master
of Indigenous Policy and Development targeted in the first instance at potential mature
age students, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, employed in the multifarious branches
of Indigenous affairs, community support, and development. If we manage to get
the proposal through the various stages of evaluation we'll have a course that
will enhance the capacity of Indigenous and non-Indigenous students to develop,
manage and enact effective Indigenous policy in Australia. A Graduate
Certificate will be built into it as well as flexible entry requirements. The
vision thing revolves around the prospect of a dozen Indigenous students
graduating with a Masters qualification from a sandstone university – an
outcome that would really have an impact on the social and policy landscape.
Until now its been driven by will and exhausting work but we’ve picked up
supporters and collaborators on the journey – to the point that we are quietly
confident we can do it.
(Yes, the
lettering is a different colour – the design of the blog will change, leaving
the moody greys, greens and blues
behind. The older you get the less inclined you are to fake it.)
RAP. The University of Melbourne had its first Reconciliation Action Plan celebration the other day. Congrats. to everyone mentioned in despatches:
