“…This goes beyond acknowledging Indigenous perspectives, to valuing and embedding Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing (Drummond, 2020). However, this must be genuine and sufficiently resourced to demonstrate commitment and an understanding of the labor involved to achieve these outcomes (Bennett et al, 2023; Menzel, 2022).…”

Previous research demonstrates that businesses that are Indigenous‐owned are far more likely to employ Indigenous people than non‐Indigenous‐owned businesses (Hunter, 2015, The Economic and Labour Relations Review, 26, 631). The majority of the literature on Indigenous employment uses a deficit discourse, describing factors that prevent or exclude Indigenous people from non‐Indigenous‐owned organisations. There is markedly less literature using a strength‐based approach, detailing how Indigenous‐owned businesses create workplaces without barriers to Indigenous employment. Through 32 semistructured interviews with Indigenous business owners, managers, and Indigenous employees of Indigenous‐owned businesses, this paper provides insights into how participants' businesses create workplaces that are more supportive of, and conducive to, Indigenous employment. This paper finds that Indigenous approaches to governance inform an organisational level of cultural competence, which creates tailored and specific practices that support better Indigenous employment outcomes. This resonates with the concept of Indigenous ways of “knowing, being, and doing,” and how this framework encompasses participants' approaches to business operations. In the light of increasing public and private policy commitments to improve Indigenous employment outcomes, it is imperative that the Indigenous business sector's best practice inform said policies, given its successes. However, inherent in these findings are broader discussions into more systemic and societal issues that go beyond workplace policy.

“…Universities have also historically been key institutions in the development of settler colonial polities, and the contemporary implications of this is gradually being explored (Bennett et al, 2023; Kidman, 2020). While much of this work involves examining the epistemologies of curriculum and assessment, there is an aligned movement which is reconsidering the spatial impact of universities as settler colonial land occupiers.…”

This Progress Report reviews recent literature that rethinks the spatiality of the university. First, it discusses the growing body of work that identifies the agency of universities in producing and shaping urban space, including their role in contributing to social injustice in cities. Second, it reviews understandings of universities as sites of relational knowledge production, linking this to the proliferation of studies of student (im)mobility. Third, it considers how the university works to spatially sort and place bodies – students, staff and non-humans.
