Aboriginal adults’ perspectives on talking with young people about sexual health and relationships in two communities in Western Sydney, Australia
This strengths-based study investigated Aboriginal adults’ views on young people’s sexual health, attitudes and relationships. Between 2019 and 2020, sixteen interviews were conducted with adults aged 25 and older from two Aboriginal communities in Western Sydney, Australia. In this paper, we discuss adults’ perspectives on intergenerational communication about sex in their communities. Participants highlighted intergenerational learning via talk…
Rethinking ‘Strengths’ in Youth Health Research
The language of ‘strengths’ and ‘strengths‐based approaches’ has rapidly grown in health research, yet rarely have these approaches been evaluated for their conceptual adequacy. This paper presents an analysis of recent literature to examine how young people's ‘strengths’ have been represented. We found that most papers use the language of resilience and protective factors to focus mostly on individual traits or attributes. This literature offers…
Embedding Indigenous knowledge in the curriculum
In this paper we document the various strategies universities have undertaken or are currently undertaking in their Indigenising practices across the Australian higher education sector by screening university websites for their strategies, principles and initiatives. It serves as a vital stocktake, audited in November 2023, for institutions aiming to forge a path towards an inclusive and culturally diverse academic environment. While such benchma…
Yarning as a method for building sexual wellbeing among urban Aboriginal young people in Australia
This paper describes the strategies used by Aboriginal young people to build positive relationships and sexual wellbeing. It does so to counter the risk-focussed narratives present in much existing research and to showcase the resourcefulness of Aboriginal young people. We used peer-interview methods to collect qualitative data from 52 Aboriginal young people living in western Sydney, Australia. Participants reported a strong desire to stay safe …
Aboriginal young people’s perspectives and experiences of accessing sexual health services and sex education in Australia
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Aboriginal) young people seek information and access health services for their sexual health needs. This study examined Aboriginal young people's perspectives on sexual health services and sex education in Australia. Overall, 51 Aboriginal people aged 16-26 years were interviewed by peer researchers in Sydney, Australia in 2019-2020. The findings suggest that the internet was used to assess information quick…
Our relationships, our values, our culture - Aboriginal young men’s perspectives about sex, relationships and gender stereotypes in Australia
Studies of Aboriginal young people have often followed a deficit approach depicting them as 'risky' and in need of help. In contrast, this study took a strengths-based approach and focussed on what Aboriginal young people value, how they stay safe and how their culture impacts their lives. 16 Aboriginal men aged 16 to 24 years were interviewed in Sydney, Australia. We examined Aboriginal young men's perspectives about relationships, sex and gende…
Perceptions of Covid-19 Vaccines
COVID-19 vaccination is particularly challenging among populations who have experienced discrimination in healthcare settings. This paper presents qualitative findings from in-depth interviews about COVID-19 vaccination conducted in Australia between October 2020 and November 2021. Data from four different studies are presented; each population has unique experiences of discrimination within the healthcare system: Aboriginal people; people who in…
Aboriginal peoples’ perspectives about Covid-19 vaccines and motivations to seek vaccination
INTRODUCTION: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Aboriginal) people compared with non-Aboriginal people in Australia have higher rates of chronic conditions. These conditions increase the risk of poorer health outcomes if infected with COVID-19, highlighting the importance of COVID-19 vaccination. This study examined what Aboriginal people think about COVID-19 vaccines, reasons why they were vaccinated or not vaccinated and factors involved i…
Beyond deficit
Health research concerning Indigenous peoples has been strongly characterised by deficit discourse-a 'mode of thinking' that is overly focused on risk behaviours and problems. Strengths-based approaches offer a different perspective by promoting a set of values that recognise the capacities and capabilities of Indigenous peoples. In this article, we seek to understand the conceptual basis of strengths-based approaches as currently presented in he…

In particular, Indigenous astronomical knowledge integrates many aspects of Indigenous Knowledge, including seasonal calendars, navigation, food economics, law, ceremony, and social structure. Capturing, managing, and disseminating this knowledge in the digital environment poses a number of challenges, which w…
Rethinking Majors in Australian Indigenous Studies

This article contributes to this discussion by drawing attention to new possibilities for teaching and learning practices amid the priority being given to the more practice-oriented educational approaches for future professionals and the cultural c…
