Assignment:
Task
Prepare a case study of a particular industry, agency or organisation's process of engaging Indigenous people in natural and cultural resource management. Compare and contrast the approach you have explored with approaches identified in other industry and agency groups investigated by other students in class.
Assignment will be presented in three parts.
Part One: Short Presentation (10 mins)
Prepare a short presentation on the topic you have chosen ready for presentation in week 8 of Semester. The presentation should:
1. Provide a background to the industry/agency you are investigating.
2. Introduce the broad structure of your case study.
3. Highlight the key findings
4. Identify any relevant recommendations.
You can choose to complete assessment in one of three ways:
• As a PowerPoint presentation with voice recording;
• As a video presentation using something like Windows Moviemaker or similar software
• As a live presentation in class - you can do this even if you are an external student who is living in or around Darwin.
Information on how to develop your presentations is made available in Learn line and will be sent out in announcements at appropriate times in the semester.
Part Two: Report (2,500 words)
Your report on this topic should explore the strategies used in the process of seeking Indigenous people's engagement in natural and cultural resource management. It should include:
1. A summary of the industry/agency approach to engagement. You may want to explore policy, agency research, particular case studies, reports or other literature.
2. An assessment of strategies/policies and examples of recent actions or implementation of policy.
3. Recommendations for changes and/or developments in policy related to engagement.
Part Three: Compare and Contrast (300-500 words)
Join with one or two other students in the class to compare reports, looking for similarities and differences in the approach to engagement with Indigenous people.
Preparation
Use the resources available on E-Reserve and on Learn line to make a start with your research. You will need to do some investigating of your own to complete this report and it may require making contact with agency representatives.
The presentation is a strategy for getting yourself organised to prepare your report, so make sure that you are organised by Week 8 to present an outline of your report with some details from the research you have already completed.
