This open access book explores the transformative experiences of
participants in the University of Sydney's National Centre for
Cultural Competence (NCCC) programs. The establishment of the NCCC
was viewed as a critical point of departure for developing an
institution-wide agenda of cultural competence. The NCCC's work
since its inception reflects efforts to lay important foundations
for cultural change at the University. With the ultimate aim of
establishing cultural competence as an agent for transformational
change and social justice education, the NCCC has steadily expanded
its research and teaching work both within and beyond the
University of Sydney. Further, it has developed foundational
resources to support and encourage University staff to integrate
cultural competence philosophy and pedagogy in their curricula,
teaching and research. This includes the ability to engage
meaningfully with the cultures, histories and contemporary issues
in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. The NCCC
programs have been designed to encourage participants to learn
about who they are and how they can positively impact the
transformational change the University has begun. The book presents
participants' reflections on their experiences at the
organisational and personal level. Readers will gain insights into
a range of topics including cultural competence, communities of
practice, policy implementation, and transformative leadership at
the interface between higher education and professional lives.
