Abstract

While there is a body of literature monitoring Indigenous Australian post-secondary school experiences, research investigating aspirational development in this life stage and Indigenous youth success as defined by Indigenous youth is severely lacking. Too often academic, government and public discourses portray Indigenous youth experiences through deficit frames of representation, completion and performance. By sharing the insights, reflections and aspirations of 15 young Indigenous Australian participants this paper calls for Indigeneity to be centred in ideations and indicators of Indigenous youth success. Findings confront institutionalised and hierarchical ideals of Indigenous Australian success premised on dominant neoliberal ideation and the accumulation of White cultural and social capital. Through an Indigenist Research lens this paper presents aspirational development and achievement as a complex and raced space where Indigenous Australian secondary school leavers articulate ambition and agency in developing successful careers, rich in cultural wealth and with their identity intact.

水潭中的反思:重新认识澳大利亚土著青年的成功
虽然有大量文献对澳大利亚土著中学后的学习经历进行了监测,但对这一人生阶段的理想发展以及土著青年所定义的土著青年的成功进行调查的研究却严重缺乏。学术界、政府和公众的论述往往通过代表性、完成情况和表现等不足的框架来描述土著青少年的经历。通过分享 15 名澳大利亚土著青年参与者的见解、反思和愿望,本文呼吁将土著性作为土著青年成功的核心理念和指标。研究结果直面以新自由主义主导思想和白人文化与社会资本积累为前提的制度化、等级化的澳大利亚土著成功理想。本文通过土著研究的视角,将理想的发展和成就展现为一个复杂的种族空间,在这个空间中,澳大利亚土著中学毕业生阐述了发展成功事业的雄心壮志和能动性,他们拥有丰富的文化财富,并保持着完整的身份认同。
