International Scholars Call For Sustainable Integration Of Indigenous Knowledge Systems In Doctoral Education

Indigenous Knowledge Systems in South Africa and Australia: Transforming Doctoral Education is the focus of a recent article by an international team of scholars, including ourselves—Professors Maria Raciti and Catherine Manathunga from the USC Indigenous and Transcultural Research Centre. Our article argues that doctoral education can be transformed into a key site for decolonising higher education by incorporating Indigenous theories and methodologies to challenge the colonial, assimilationist legacy that dominates education at all levels.
