SAHANZ Decolonising and Indigenising Architectural History Curricula Event

Workshop: 5-6 April 2024

Expression of Interest: by  22 March 2024

The Society of Architectural Historians Australia & New Zealand (SAHANZ) is hosting a two-day pedagogy workshop at Monash University's Caulfield Campus titled LISTEN: Decolonising and Indigenising Architectural History Curricula. According to the conveners, the aim of this year’s workshop is "to listen and learn in order to co-create strategies for teaching, practice, and life that reject and dismantle Europe’s outsized and undeserved role as the measure of historical endeavour. This will also lighten the cultural load currently being placed on Indigenous scholars and practitioners." The ultimate aim is to consider how, as teachers, we might "further develop respectful and responsible engagement with Country, with  Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, Māori and Pasifika Peoples and their knowledges."

Each day will begin with an Indigenous-led opening conversation, followed by the workshops, and end with reflective round tables by all participants on the activities of the day. Those interested in participating are asked to submit an Expression of Interest by 22 March. More details can be found here:
