Literature review relating to the current context and discourse of Indigenous tertiary education in Australia
(2011)
Abstract
This review outlines some of the themes that have emerged in the growing global discourse
of Indigenous education in the higher education sector. The past decade and a half have
seen increased numbers of Indigenous students and academic staff in universities, a
proliferation of publications exploring Indigenous issues in the academy, and heightened
interest in the nature and meaning of Indigenous knowledge and studies.
This review examined information provided by 22 Australian universities to gain a picture of
the research fields and topics that are attracting most interest from Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander graduates and academics. It also reviewed some of the international and
national literature to identify themes and issues generating debate among Indigenous
scholars.
