VICE-CHANCELLOR’S AWARD FOR TEACHING EXCELLENCE
CANDIDATE

The School of Art and Design Balawan and Buugang Electives are the culmination of many dedicated minds, hearts and hands. They are made possible due to the generous contributions of First Nations contributors. These field-based courses provide students from across the ANU with meaningful learning opportunities that encompass the depth and vibrancy of Aboriginal culture. Key values of respect, reciprocity, truth telling and cultural safety are central to course objectives and emergent outreach programs.



“I work very hard to create an environment where students feel safe and where students listen to and are able to digest the information in their own time and then respond creatively.”
Dr Amanda Stuart


“That is what my whole practice is about; it is about bringing things to light – histories that are forgotten or chosen to be forgotten.”
Aidan Hartshorne
