Description
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” storyboarding 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 a larger proportion of Indigenous people in the school than in mainstream schools. Informed by Indigenist and critical race theory, 19 Indigenous staff members contributed to knowledge around three themes: Us mob, Race and racism, and Practice. The latter incorporated discussions both of curriculum and funding issues. Many Indigenous staff were working in flexi schools through choice and a sense of commitment to working with Indigenous youth. However, other issues, such as experiences of racism, were still present despite the “social justice” nature of flexi schools.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
