About

The Understanding Treaty course offered by University of Melbourne will help you gain a deeper understanding of treaty and agreement-making between Indigenous peoples and settler states.

Overview

What you will study

As Victoria and other Australian jurisdictions engage in the early stages of treaty negotiations, it is vital the parties involved have a fundamental understanding of the treaty process.

This Understanding Treaty course offered by University of Melbourne explores the role that treaties have played, and might play, in relations between Indigenous peoples and contemporary settler societies.

  • Critically analyse and reflect on different approaches to agreement-making and treaty settlements historically and internationally.

Programme Structure

The program focuses on:
