Abstract:
For a while now I have been researching and writing
about Australian Indigenous education issues. Like you
all, I have seen much good work and learnt much from
what is going on across the country and internationally
to improve outcomes for Indigenous learners in
formal education processes. And still we go on with
the struggle and with the limitations that Western
sciences and practices place on us in the process. This
paper draws together theoretical propositions from
the work we have been progressing for the higher
education sector over the past decade and to point to
some foundational principles thar can help establish
some eady beginnings with Indigenous education as
a discipline in the higher education sector.
