Our vision for Indigenous Studies at the University of Divinity
(Australian Journal of Mission Studies; 15 (1) )
2021-06
Most tertiary-level theological activity in Australia has been generated by white people, for white people. One consequence of this is the exclusion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander modes of doing theology from the academy. White tertiary institutions have effectively pursued and enacted their own doctrine of terra nullius. The University of Divinity's new Indigenous Studies Centre seeks to redress this lack by sponsoring research and teaching that will Indigenise and decolonise the dominant theological tradition.
