The role of Australian universities in promoting reconciliation and social justice through education to meet the needs of Indigenous Australians is the subject of a public lecture at the Charles Sturt University (CSU) Dubbo Campus on Wednesday 10 September. Ms Wendy Nolan, senior lecturer and Deputy Director of the CSU Centre for Indigenous Studies, will present the lecture which argues for the need to equip non-Indigenous graduates with knowledge and understanding of Indigenous Australian cultures, histories and contemporary realities to help them work effectively with Indigenous people.“Many national reports show Indigenous disadvantage is compounded by cross-cultural ignorance, resulting in ineffective policy and service provision. Achieving reconciliation relies on building a knowledgeable and mature society committed to achieving social justice for Indigenous Australians.” Ms Nolan will also discuss the benefits of incorporating Indigenous content into university curriculum and conclude with an overview of CSU’s commitment to reconciliation and social justice.
