  • 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.

AIEF is an excellent example of how individuals and corporate organisations can make a difference to the lives of Indigenous children by facilitating access to educational opportunities that would not otherwise be available to them, and to do so in an efficient framework that provides clear, transparent and regular reporting. This initiative also benefits non-Indigenous children in our schools by providing the opportunity for our non-Indigenous students to form bonds of friendship with, and cultural understanding of, their Indigenous classmates. In this way, we are together working towards a brighter future for all Australians and empowering Indigenous children to have real choices in life.
