About this Unit
In this unit students examine their own personal identity as a context for understanding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients in professional practice. Students will examine the constructions and meanings of Indigenous identity and compare non-Indigenous theories of identity. Research and presentation skills will be developed to create and describe a family tree. The unit will also focus on key social and political issues that have impacted on the lives and identities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and implications for practice.
