As someone writing about Indigenous histories, can I ask a q? I agree absolutely with the underlying point here, & regularly direct enquiries to BlPoC people whose voices should be the ones foregrounded, but are you saying we should not research the histories of other cultures?

I don't think anywhere in my tweet or Professor Hendrick's thread that's implied.

Thank you for clarifying. It was the tweet about being asked to refuse to write on BIPoC histories - I guess I misread it as meaning ‘at all’ and looking back she doesn’t quite say that. Sorry - very very long week.

Indigenous studies has an entire methodological protocol and discussion about this. There are several decades of scholarship, white papers, reports about this. There is an entire separate area called settler colonial studies.

yes, one of the possibilities is that they say no. And a researcher should take that and then refuse to do it. It is not their place, material, community etc. If they continue to go ahead then they are enacting settler colonial violence as part of the research industrial complex
