NAIDOC Week - Education for Indigenous Futures

Taking a multidisciplinary approach and using sources of evidence as diverse as education policy and speculative fiction, Professor Sandra Phillips’ Dean’s Lecture will explore current examples and possible scenarios where education is oriented to Indigenous flourishing.

This presentation aims to contribute clarity to common goals we share as educators and leaders through combining the interpretive and critical traditions of Futures Studies with the spirit of 2024 NAIDOC theme, Keep the Fire burning! Blak, Loud and Proud.

This year’s NAIDOC Week theme, Keep the Fire Burning! Blak, Loud & Proud, honours the enduring strength and vitality of First Nations culture – with fire a symbol of connection to Country, to each other, and to the rich tapestry of traditions that define Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
