Talk - An Australian Double Feature
Australian Indigenous Women's Standpoint Theory: A Methodological Tool
Aileen Moreton-Robinson, Professor, Indigenous Studies Research Network, Faculty of Education, Queensland University of Technology
"In this presentation I critically engage with feminist standpoint theory and current Indigenous research methodologies to develop what I consider to be the core elements of an Indigenous women's standpoint theory."
The Politics of the Data: How the Australian Statistical Indigene is Constructed
Maggie Walter, Associate Professor, School of Sociology and Social Work, University of Tasmania
The production, analysis and presentation of Indigenous data are not neutral interpretations of numerical counts. Institutionally positioned within a portrayal of Australian national social trends, the data's ubiquity belies their discursive power. By virtue of the racialised terrain in which they are conceived, collected, analysed and interpreted the data are politicised in ways mostly invisible to their producers and users. This racialised 'politics of the data' is the focus of this presentation.
