- Description
- This paper outlines research being conducted within the discipline of Tourism Studies at a regional University in New South Wales with regard to the Indigenisation of curricula. Courses on offer to students of Tourism Studies include content on Indigenous cultural tourism planning and development, however, an Indigenous perspective embedded in the curricula is largely absent. While Indigenisation of curricula has increasingly become a priority in the Australian tertiary sector, the modes of practice associated with the necessary forms of curriculum renewal, and literature considering it, are thus far limited. This paper presents a case for more open debate on the need to Indigenise curricula currently on offer to students studying tourism at tertiary institutions.
