This lecture
considers the formation of culturalism in Indigenous education
and its consequences in terms of curriculum, policy and the material
and symbolic realms of postcolonial states. Dr. McConaghy draws
upon her experience of practices within Australia and considers
implications for rethinking education in Canadian institutions.
