About this subject
In this subject, students are introduced to the foundational principles underpinning the study of Indigenous Knowledges, with a particular emphasis on Noongar epistemologies. Noongar knowledge systems are central to understanding the cultural, historical, and philosophical dimensions of life in the south-west of Western Australia. The subject encourages students to engage with Indigenous perspectives that are relational, place-based, and deeply embedded in lived experience. Through this lens, students explore the Noongar cultural trilogy, being moort (family), boodja (Country), and katitjin (knowledge), as a framework for understanding identity, belonging, and continuity. The subject challenges Western paradigms by presenting knowledge not as abstract or universal but as situated, embodied, and intergenerational. Students will critically examine how these foundational elements inform contemporary Indigenous realities, including the ongoing impacts of colonisation and the resilience of cultural practices. The subject fosters an academic environment that values reflective inquiry, ethical engagement, and cultural responsiveness. By drawing on Noongar ways of knowing and being, students are encouraged to consider how Indigenous knowledge systems contribute to broader conversations about justice, sustainability, and relational accountability. Through this subject, students cultivate a critical foundation in Indigenous Knowledges that supports both scholarly inquiry and culturally responsive practice, preparing them to engage with complexity and contribute thoughtfully across diverse personal and professional contexts. Please Note: All students studying at Murdoch University will need to complete the compulsory unit, Murdoch Academic Passport (MAP100), which only takes 2-3 hours to complete online.
