Abstract

Purpose

Social marketing and government policy are intertwined. Despite this, policy analysis by social marketers is rare. This paper aims to address the dearth of policy analysis in social marketing and introduce and model a methodology grounded in Indigenous knowledge and from an Indigenous standpoint. In Australia, a minuscule number of First Nations people complete doctoral degrees. The most recent, major policy review, the Australian Council of Learned Academies (ACOLA) Report, made a series of recommendations, with some drawn from countries that have successfully uplifted Indigenous doctoral candidates’ success. This paper “speaks back” to the ACOLA Report.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper subjects the ACOLA Report, implementation plans and evaluations to a detailed Indigenous Critical Discourse Analysis using Nakata’s Indigenous standpoint theory and Bacchi’s Foucauldian discourse analysis to trace why policy borrowing from other countries is challenging if other elements of the political, social and cultural landscape are fundamentally unsupportive of reforms.

Findings

This paper makes arguments about the effects produced by the way the “problem” of First Nations doctoral education has been represented in this suite of Australian policy documents and the ways in which changes could be made that would actually address the pressing need for First Nations doctoral success in Australia.

Originality/value

Conducting policy analysis benefits social marketers in many ways, helping to navigate policy complexities and advocate for meaningful policy reforms for a social cause. This paper aims to spark more social marketing policy analysis and introduces a methodology uncommon to social marketing.

澳大利亚原住民博士教育的 "问题":政策分析
目的社会营销与政府政策相互交织。尽管如此,社会营销人员很少进行政策分析。本文旨在解决社会营销政策分析匮乏的问题,并介绍和示范一种基于土著知识和土著立场的方法。在澳大利亚,只有极少数原住民完成了博士学位。最近,澳大利亚学术委员会(ACOLA)报告(Australian Council of Learned Academies,简称ACOLA)进行了一次重要的政策审查,提出了一系列建议,其中一些建议来自于那些成功提高土著博士生成功率的国家。本文将对 ACOLA 报告、实施计划和评估进行详细的土著批判性话语分析,采用 Nakata 的土著立场理论和 Bacchi 的福柯话语分析,追溯为什么如果政治、社会和文化环境中的其他因素从根本上不支持改革,那么借鉴其他国家的政策就具有挑战性。研究结果本文论证了这套澳大利亚政策文件对原住民博士教育 "问题 "的表述方式所产生的影响,以及如何进行改革才能切实解决澳大利亚原住民博士教育取得成功的迫切需要。本文旨在引发更多的社会营销政策分析,并介绍一种社会营销中不常见的方法。
