The course is designed as an introduction to the area of Indigenous spirituality. The content of the unit will be mainly drawn from those Aboriginal writers, artists and elders, past and present, whose work represents an attempt towards defining or expressing their spirituality. In examining this material, emphasis will be given to developing the skills of empathetic interpretation. Attention will also be given to the idea of art as a form of spiritual expression, and the on-going dialogue between Indigenous spirituality and the formation of an Australian identity.
