Indigenous peoples and colonialism: Global Perspectives
In the final throes of writing my book on the politics of aid, Samson and Gigoux's Indigenous Peoples and Colonialism helped to crystallize the objectives behind development in Third-World nations

Charles W. Mills wrote in Blackness Visible: Philosophy and Race (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1998, 107) that 'what seems like a neutral starting point, and begs no questions, is actually alr

Rethinking Indigenous Research Approval ‐ The Perspective of a ‘Stranger’
Ethical practices in relation to indigenous research require that the researcher decolonise the research. This can be challenging when institutional guidelines are unclear but at the same time exacting in terms of the level of input required as a prerequisite for approval. This article explores the ambiguities of approval through a study of the application process for ‘my’ doctoral research to observe indigenous athlete‐role models engaging with …
Official' discourses of race and racism: Inclusion, intent and inversion mediated within journalistic communiquésvis-à-visthe Australian indigenous athlete
In May 2008, I wrote to the editor of a Melbourne newspaper pointing out that an article discussing differences between two superstars of the Australian Football League (AFL), one white (team oriented) and the other black (self oriented), conformed to racial dualism of intellect and instinct. My inquiry regarding the rejection of my letter began a process of correspondence which was instructive for unearthing a philosophy of racism defined by ‘in…
Encountering disregard in Australian academe: The subjective perspective of a disaffiliated racial ‘other’
This article proposes that progressive frameworks underpinned by diversity are contradictory to the inclusion of the 'other' in Australian higher education. I integrate the critical race theory constructs of disregard and convergence with white privilege and indigenous lacking to claim that objective processes underpinned by merit embed the marginalising of the 'other'. I draw on storytelling to enunciate my subjective experience of disregard as …
Intervention or Inversion: Australian Indigenous Justice and the Politics of Cultural Incompatibility
Australian Indigenous affairs are underscored by a central tension between the rights of Indigenous peoples to self-determination, and assimilation policy premised on cultural homogeneity. This tension is most evident between the Northern Territory Government-commissioned Anderson and Wild (Citation2007) report, entitled Ampe akelyernemane meke mekarle: Little children are sacred, which recommends the continuation of community-led programs in res…
Race Formations (Evolutionary Hegemony) and the 'Aping' of the Australian Indigenous Athlete
In the article 'The Fire Within', Anthony Mundine, the Australian indigenous boxer and world bantam weight title holder, is the subject of discussion around his inability to be his own man. Martin Flanagan (2006: 6) writes that 'Mundine is commonly accused of aping Muhammad Ali'. Flanagan, regarded as sensitive to indigenous issues, does not use quotation marks in recognition of the underlying politics of race invoked. An extraordinary oversight,…
Performative Pedagogy and the Creation of Desire: The Indigenous Athlete/Role Model and Implications for Learning
The athlete role model has emerged as the new pastor invested with the task of leading young people classed "at-risk" from entering into self-destructive pathways. The logic invested in the athlete role model is that young people identify with their sporting heroes and in the process try to emulate them. This holds for the major sporting codes in Australia including the Australian Football League (AFL), which supports the formation of role model …

Up Front and Beyond the Centre Line: Australian Aborigines in Elite Australian Rules Football
Although there has been a substantial growth in the number of Aboriginal players in the Australian Football League over the past decade, issues of structural and institutional racism have not been explored. This investigation of the assignment of players by position revealed marked patterns of difference, which tend to reflect stereotypes about Aboriginal athletes. The results are similar to research conducted in the USA and the UK but suggest ev…
