Informit is proud to present an exclusive professional development webinar: Indigenous Studies Across the Curriculum, featuring Melissa Serrurier, an Indigenous curriculum specialist and PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne.
With more than a decade of experience spanning primary, secondary and tertiary education, Melissa brings deep expertise in culturally responsive teaching, curriculum development, and Indigenous education. In this session, she will share practical strategies for meaningfully integrating Indigenous perspectives into the classroom.
A key highlight of the webinar will be an introduction to Informit Explore—our powerful digital platform offering access to the most comprehensive collection of Australian scholarly journals focused on Indigenous studies. Melissa will demonstrate how educators and librarians can use Informit Explore to enrich lesson plans, support student inquiry, and ensure Indigenous voices are embedded throughout the curriculum.
“As educators, we have a responsibility to honour and embed Indigenous perspectives, and ways of knowing, being and doing in our teaching – not as an add-on, but as a foundation for truth, respect, and reconciliation,” says Melissa. “Informit Explore empowers us to do this meaningfully, by providing access to authentic Indigenous scholarship, voices, and perspectives that enrich our practice and deepen our understanding.”
