Abstract

Abstract This study takes a retrospective look at the educational experiences of Indigenous health professionals who graduated from The University of Queensland's Indigenous Health Program between 1994 and 2005, to understand the enablers for growing an Indigenous health workforce capable of advancing the health of Indigenous peoples. Drawing on the qualitative accounts of 31 students and 9 staff members, this paper examines the enablers to educational success at this time, juxtaposed against current Indigenising agendas in higher education, of aspiration and capacity building alongside the task of embedding Indigenous knowledges within curricula. We look back not as a call to return to Indigenous-specific cohort courses but rather reconsider both the measures of and strategies for success in Indigenous higher education, within health and beyond, interrogating the ideological assumptions that inform them.

展望未来的黑人：为彻底反思土著高等教育的成功战略提供理由

摘要:本研究回顾了1994年至2005年间毕业于昆士兰大学土著卫生项目的土著卫生专业人员的教育经历，以了解促进土著人民健康的土著卫生人力队伍的发展。根据31名学生和9名工作人员的定性描述，本文考察了当前教育成功的促成因素，并将其与当前高等教育的本土化议程、愿望和能力建设以及将土著知识融入课程的任务相提并论。回顾过去，我们不是呼吁回到针对土著群体的课程，而是重新考虑土著高等教育在卫生和其他领域取得成功的措施和战略，并质疑影响这些教育的意识形态假设。

期刊介绍： Published in association with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies Unit, The University of Queensland, the Australian Journal of Indigenous Education is an internationally refereed journal which publishes papers and reports on the theory, method, and practice of Indigenous education. The journal welcomes articles that ground theoretical reflections and discussions in qualitative and quantitative studies, as well as examples of best practice with a focus on Indigenous education. While AJIE has a particular focus on Indigenous education in Australia and Oceania, research which explores educational contexts and experiences around the globe are welcome. AJIE seeks to foster debate between researchers, government, and community groups on the shifting paradigms, problems, and practical outcomes of Indigenous education.
