Researcher cultural capability for Indigenous research: A meta-narrative review
The role of localised culturally responsive practices in enhancing Aboriginal language revitalisation and education
The revitalisation of Aboriginal languages in Australia is gaining momentum, particularly as more schools take up the call to promote Indigenous language education. Schools require collaborative, reciprocal relationships to develop Indigenous language curricula and resources. This paper shares key findings from a co-designed study with Wakka Wakka Elders and Historical Elders from the communities of Cherbourg and Murgon in Queensland, which focus…
Codesign in Indigenous education policy and practice—A systematic literature review
Codesign is an increasingly common term in Indigenous education policy settings. However, it is unclear exactly what it means and how it is enacted. This systematic review examined 15 papers relevant to codesign in the context of Indigenous education, clearly distinguishing between codesign as a process and a method. These papers provide a snapshot of the various ways codesign is conceptualised, enacted as a process and evaluated in Indigenous ed…
Indigenous education policy, practice and research: Unravelling the tangled web
An abundance of research in Indigenous education has not resulted in significant systemic change in relation to Indigenous education in Australia. In this paper we examine convergence and divergence across the policy, practice and research realms with the aim of identifying key sites of opportunity for innovation and change. Through analysing how research and evidence is produced and included/excluded in Indigenous education policy settings, the …
Strive with pride”: The voices of Indigenous young people on identity, wellbeing, and schooling in Australia
Indigenous Australian young people comprise over 50% of the total Indigenous population (Australian Bureau of Statistics, Citation2017). Yet, the voices of Indigenous young people are seldom centred in policy or scholarship (Shay & Sarra, Citation2021). This paper shares findings from a three-year national transdisciplinary, qualitative study that explored the identity and well-being of Indigenous young people in diverse school settings. The data…

Counter stories: The voices of Indigenous peoples undertaking educative roles in flexi schools
This paper reports on findings from the first author’s doctoral research examining the experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff in Australian flexi schools. ‘Collaborative yarning methodology’ story boarding was used to hear (and theme) the collective experiences of Indigenous teaching and non-teaching staff in these alternative school settings where both they and Indigenous students make up larger numbers of staff than mainstre…
Locating the voices of Indigenous young people on identity in Australia: An Indigenist analysis
The identities of Indigenous young people in Australia have increasingly been recognized in the health and education research literature as being significant. Over half of the Indigenous population in Australia is under the age of 25 years, emphasizing the importance of centering the voices of this cohort. In this paper, two Indigenous scholars undertake an Indigenist analysis of the ways that the voices of Indigenous young people are present wit…

At the Cherbourg State School, the aim was to generate good academic outcomes for all students from kindergarten to Year 7 and to nurture a strong and positive sense of what it means to be Aboriginal in today’s society. In this paper, I will discuss modernism and postmodernism in indigenous …
