About the Conference

The Indigenous Higher Education Curriculum Conference will be a three-day conference held at the ÎåÔÂÌìÊÓƵ from Monday 25 to Wednesday 27 November 2024. There will be a unique On-Country Experience on Monday 25 November, and optional specialised and applied professional development workshops on Thursday 28 November.

The Indigenous Higher Education Curriculum Conference was started by UTS in 2022 and is now supported by an International Indigenous Curriculum Community of Practice. The purpose of the conference is to highlight that Australian universities are progressively embedding Indigenous perspectives into higher education curriculum to provide students with Indigenous graduate attributes to work with and for Indigenous Australians across their chosen professions.

Australia's universities have a responsibility to be the beacons of light in delivering social justice agendas across its many curriculums and courses. 

– Professor Juanita Sherwood, Universities Australia, Indigenous Strategy 2022-2027, p.48

The Indigenous Higher Education Curriculum Conference will continue to foster the international community of practice forum to promote the ethical embedding of Indigenous perspectives across higher education curriculum and provide a setting for university academics to share their examples of design, development and delivery of Indigenous curriculum.
