I don't agree. In my case, Twitter has raised up voices I would never get to hear in my suburban daily life, who teach and challenge me like @OtherSociology @MariamVeiszadeh @BehrouzBoochani @indigenousX

As an academic, you are probably more frequently exposed to ideas and perspectives and a range of voices. Me, just working in the suburbs, going home in the suburbs back to work each day in the suburbs.. voices like these are powerful and important.

I’m a bit late to this convo and not sure if it’s been said but it would be so good if teachers attended Aboriginal Cultural Safety or similar. So important for our kids.

Not done well in many places. It's often very difficult work when it's done by Aboriginal educators/trainers who face a lot of racism & resistance. Teachers, principals, faculty and admin staff are combative toward Aboriginal colleagues. Important work but not well supported.

In academia, trying to get lecturers to engage with Aboriginal theories and methods is just as tough, let alone getting them to address cultural safety and think critically how curriculum & pedagogy should be decolonised. This is important work that should not be devalued.
