Diploma of Creative and Indigenous Writing [Batchelor]

Do you use writing to express yourself creatively? Want to strengthen your skills and learn something new without committing to an undergraduate degree? The Diploma of Creative and Indigenous Writing is for you.

You will develop your writing style in a variety of genres, and strengthen your knowledge of Indigenous expressive culture through an understanding of Indigenous and non-Indigenous writing traditions.

This course introduces you to creative literature in key areas such as short story writing, poetry, writing for stage and short film, and personal narratives.

You will focus on how Indigenous peoples in Australia and elsewhere use these genres as tools to share stories about their history, and the impacts the modern world have on culture in a dominant non-Indigenous society.
