Decolonizing Schooling: Aboriginal and Islander Education Officers as Cultural Leaders in Australian Education
The Education Department of Western Australia advocates for culturally responsive schools. Aboriginal Indigenous Education Officers (AIEOs) are employed by schools to facilitate and enable the potential for Aboriginal school children to thrive in school settings. This article describes the values that AIEOs, parents, and teachers emphasized as being important in responding to Aboriginal students, through yarning circles organized in the first yea…
Culturally respectful foundations of Noongar school educators’ ways of working
The Moombaki study team’s key objective is improving the well-being and educational success of Aboriginal children by fostering a deeper connection to their culture, land, and family. The current WA Department of Education Cultural Standards Framework (2015) is outdated and has not resulted in sustainable and audited meaningful changes to ways of working with Aboriginal children and their families. Our findings show that AIEOs provide valuable in…
Educating the educated: Embracing respectful responsibility
The Moombaki (where the river meets the sky) study hypothesises that increasing the knowledge and pride that Aboriginal children have of their identity will contribute positively toward their education, health and well-being outcomes. Through research yarning circles conducted at three urban primary schools in Boorloo (Perth), Aboriginal educators (Aboriginal and Islander Education Officers [AIEOs] and teachers) described how to respond to Aborig…
Koorlangka Dreaming Becomes a Reality: A Moombaki Virtual Reality with Connections to Noongar Moort, Boodja, and Karnarn
In this paper, we describe the developmental process of a culturally grounded Moombaki virtual reality (VR) game. We share how Aboriginal children’s drawings have informed the creation of an interactive learning platform for primary school-aged children attending schools in Wadjuk Boodja. The project focused on connecting students to cultural knowledge through immersive storytelling, creative exploration, and collaborative design by using small g…

Thinking With Perplexities in the Context of Social Inclusion, Refugees, and Schools: Methodological Learnings
In this article, we explore the ideas of thinking with perplexity. We draw on Addams (1902) understanding of perplexity that is interwoven with ethics. Through turning toward a research study alongside teachers who engage with refugee students in a Canadian kindergarten classroom, we make visible how a turn toward perplexity disrupts our taken for granted knowing and holds open the possibilities for growth. Drawing on field texts, conversations, …
The negotiations of involved fathers and intensive mothers around shared-bed sleeping with infants (co-sleeping)
This article discusses some emerging issues that arose during a much wider evaluative investigation of the Western Australian Health Department's bed-sharing policy and how effectively health professionals provided advice to parents. The broader evaluation report was developed for a clinical and health bureaucratic, policy-making audience. In contrast, this article adopts an approach that is more sociologically informed to tease out some of the s…
