Excited to listen in on a family conversation between @TeachingSana and Martin Nakata about Indigenous higher education...another great @SocSciWeek event @ArtsUnimelb https://tinyurl.com/yy96n2zl 

Savaging the Disciplines showed how academic disciplines built a body of knowledge about Indigenous Australians that "not serve our interest" and "has actually forsaken a lot of other conversations...on contemporary experiences of Indigenous people" https://tinyurl.com/y6xq4wd 

Fascinating to hear about how M Nakata's work on Indigenous prisoners, anger and rehabilitation is getting beyond some of the dichotomies of Indigenous/Western knowledges to transform disciplinary approaches in psychology, medicine, etc

Critical Indigenous scholarship speaks back to disciplines in ways that opens up knowledge beyond studies of Indigenous lives by challenging neutrality of knowledge, getting beyond human/ land or mind/body dualisms broadly ... totally agree @TeachingSana

Challenging discussion here of the role of non-Indigenous scholars in either sustaining problematic disciplinary knowledges or else working to open up better conversations. What a great event. @ISCollaborates @ArtsUnimelb @SocSciWeek
