Know your worth: Valuing Indigenous leadership positions in Australian higher education
Indigenous Australians bring significant expertise, leadership, and cultural knowledge to the higher education sector, offering contributions that are deeply valuable and transformative. Since 2009, there has been a notable emergence of executive-level Indigenous leadership roles across Australian universities, yet while these developments mark important progress, substantial discrepancies remain across the sector. Some of these are tied to the l…
An Indigenous Australian Cultural Wealth Mentoring Model
Critical scholars are increasingly responding to and rejecting dominant institutionalised mentoring models embedded in private, public, and community mentoring practices, particularly within higher education settings. Our findings align with studies highlighting how dominant mentoring models tend to reinforce the accumulation of White cultural capital and fail to address Indigenous mentees’ unique cultural norms and experiences. From a Critical R…
Reflections in waterholes: Reconceptualising young Indigenous Australian success
While there is a body of literature monitoring Indigenous Australian post-secondary school experiences, research investigating aspirational development in this life stage and Indigenous youth success as defined by Indigenous youth is severely lacking. Too often academic, government and public discourses portray Indigenous youth experiences through deficit frames of representation, completion and performance. By sharing the insights, reflections a…

This article explores epistemological and ontological accounts of Country's mentorship among young Indigenous Australian knowledge holders, creatives, entrepreneurs, changemakers, and advocates. Using a qualitative decolonising race theoretical lens, the research team adapted and explored multi-directional, more-than-human understandings of the human-Country mentorship relationship to reflect young mob experiences of enacting and embodying Countr…
Raising an Indigenous academic community: A strength-based approach to Indigenous early career mentoring in higher education
This paper reports on Indigenous early career researchers’ experiences of mentoring in Australian higher education, with data drawn from a longitudinal qualitative study. Interviews were conducted with 30 Indigenous participants. A consistent theme in the findings and contemporary critical literature has been a reaction against institutionalised and hierarchical cloning and investment models of mentoring that reinforce the accumulation of White c…
Researching and reorienting mentorship practices to empower the success of Indigenous Australian young people
This article discusses mentorship provided to Indigenous Australian secondary school leavers. The authors suggest that although current scholarship in the field is insightful, there is a dearth focussing on mentorship provided during the post-secondary school transitional phase. Also, much literature problematizes Indigenous mentees and is contextually bound to individual programs, singular communities or cohorts. Although governments, industries…
