#Twitter is "monumental" to academics - an open database. We need more academics online. Some are scared, while non-Indigenous academics are surprised Aboriginal people are online. @BronwynCarlson notes many like Prof @BronFredericks, Dr @drcbond & others on @IndigenousX
Question from the floor: some backlash that #BecauseOfHerWeCan alienates men. Answer: @naidocweek decided on this year's theme because when most people think of prominent Aboriginal people, they think largely of men. This year is about providing women a platform. @ShannanJDodson
"Indigenous women lead from behind." They lead multiple ways: family, community organisations, they're raising up families, doing emotional labour & coordinating action. Lorena Allam
"Indigenous women are overqualified but not recognised." @Shelley_Reys #BecauseOfHerWeCan
Indigenous women have a tough time at work because they have a high cultural load. They deal with multiple responsibilities and issues. They need better support and recognition. @bridgeyb #BecauseOfHerWeCan
Research shows public servants tone down or are afraid to speak up on Indigenous issues on social media ("they keep it beige"). But as an academic @BronwynCarlson doesn't feel this restriction and can speak openly, including critiquing her university

Do you support an Indigenous voice to parliament?

#BecauseOfHerWeCan event @TwitterAU ends with @teelareid reading the #UluruStatement from the Heart, which was in the room.pic.twitter.com/KqKNS043i3
Oh ffs...one week people, just one week. I mean how would men feel alienated by recognising contributions of women in our community?
