  • Megan Wood Thesis (PDF 2MB)
    REFLECTIVE PERSPECTIVES: NEGOTIATIONS AT AND WITHIN THE BORDERS OF CULTURAL DIFFERENCE A post-qualitative inquiry of cultural hybridity within third space enunciations Megan Ann Wood Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Education (Research) Centre for Learning Innovation Faculty of Education Queensland University of Technology December, 2015 Keywords border crossing pedagogy, Indigenous, non-Indigenous, collaboration, difference, intercultural, negotiation, post-qualitative, third space, cultural hybridity i Acronyms NEAF: National Ethics Application Form ii Abstract This research has sought to explore the in-between space of intercultural collaboration between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples in Australia. The overarching aim of this research is to explore the negotiations of cultural difference through articulated moments of intercultural collaboration and interaction in an attempt to support a deeper understanding and awareness of the pedagogical practice of collaboration between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and non-Indigenous peoples in Australia. A post-qualitative inquiry has guided me in my engagement with two publicly available reflective outputs (as ‘data’ for analysis), multiple theories, literature, stories and personal experiences to dwell at the borders of cultural difference. I also acknowledge throughout this research project that ideology, imbued through discourse, has the power to enforce or challenge cultural and social domination. This in turn creates cultural hegemony, a process whereby a particular social and cultural group has the power to influence the thoughts, expectations and behaviours of the rest of society. As I consider the concept of negotiations in moments of intercultural collaboration and notions of reconciliatory projects and solidarity, it is important that I maintain critical awareness of ideological presence in discourse and its influential authority over people.

    NOVELS Baillie, Allan The First Voyage F BAI:A An adventure story set in our very distant past, 30,000 years ago, when the first tribes from Timor braved the ocean on primitive rafts to travel into the unknown, and reached the land mass of what is now Australia. Baillie, Allan Songman F BAI:A This story is set in northern Australia in 1720, before the time of Captain Cook. Yukuwa sets out across the sea to the islands of Indonesia. It is an adventure contrasting lifestyles and cultures, based on an episode of our history rarely explored in fiction. Birch, Tony, The White Girl F BIR:T Odette Brown has lived her whole life on the fringes of a small country town. After her daughter disappeared and left her with her granddaughter Sissy to raise on her own, Odette has managed to stay under the radar of the welfare authorities who are removing fair-skinned Aboriginal children from their families. When a new policeman arrives in town, determined to enforce the law, Odette must risk everything to save Sissy and protect everything she loves. Boyd, Jillian Bakir and Bi F BOY:J Bakir and Bi is based on a Torres Strait Islander creation story with illustrations by 18-year-old Tori-Jay Mordey.

Geoffrey in front of the jacarandah tree in the Quadrangle. Citation Presented by the Associate Dean, Learning & Teaching, Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Professor Anna Reid: Chancellor, it gives me great pleasure to commend Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu to you for admission to the degree of Doctor of Music (honoris causa). He has distinguished himself through his outstanding contribution to the promotion of music and culture in Australia and overseas. His extraordinary voice combines fragility with emotive power to sing about his identity, spirit and connection with the land, its elements and his ancestors. Yet the inspiration he takes from his homeland resonates far beyond northeast Arnhem Land. Coupled with his quiet, reserved demeanour, his music has forged a spiritual bond with audiences in Australia and around the world. Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu grew up as a member of the Gumatj nation on Elcho Island. Largely self- taught, he plays drums, keyboards, guitar and didgeridoo.

    It was a line-up to die for: Elvis Costello, Leon Russell, Grace Jones, Ben Harper, BB King and, headlining, none other than Bob Dylan. The 2011 extravaganza was the annual Byron Bay Bluesfest’s finest offering, and there among all of that spectacular talent and the thousands of fans who streamed through the gates stood a gaggle of young Indigenous men from Elcho Island in the Northern Territory: Gurrumul, the singer whose debut album has gone platinum from sales worldwide, and the community Bluesfest was Saltwater’s swan song, group he helped found over 15 but what an event to go out on.
