Respecting Country and People: Pathways Forward Summary This book strategically focuses upon the feasibility of positioning Indigenous Knowledge Systems into tertiary built environment education and research in Australia. Australian tertiary education has little engaged with Indigenous peoples and their Indigenous Knowledge Systems, and the respectful translation of their Indigenous Knowledge Systems into tertiary education learning. In contrast, while there has been a dearth of discussion and research on this topic pertaining to the tertiary sector, the secondary school sector has passionately pursued this topic. There is an uneasiness by the tertiary sector to engage in this realm, overwhelmed already by the imperatives of the Commonwealths Closing the Gap initiative to advance Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander tertiary education successes and appointments of Indigenous academics. As a consequence, the teaching of Indigenous Knowledge Systems relevant to professional disciplines, particularly landscape architecture where it is most apt, is overlooked and similarly little addressed in the relevant professional institute education accreditation standards Notes Includes index Online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed March 25, 2021) Subject Landscape architecture -- Study and teaching (Higher) -- Australia Indigenous peoples -- Education (Higher) -- Australia Indigenous peoples -- Education (Higher) Landscape architecture -- Study and teaching (Higher) Australia Form Electronic book Author Jones, David S.
