For a while now I have been researching and writing about Indigenous education issues. Like you all, we have seen much good work and learnt much from what is going on across Australia and internationally to improve outcomes for Indigenous learners in formal education processes. This paper draws together some early theoretical propositions from the work I have been progressing for the higher education sector in Australia over the past decade and addresses recent trends to include Indigenous Knowledge into the curriculum. It concludes with some foundational principles to help establish early beginnings with Australian Indigenous studies as a discipline in the higher education sector.
