“…Additionally, Wilks and Wilson (2012) argue that Indigenous people's exclusion from Australia's education system has caused them to believe they cannot succeed at university. Teachers' low expectations further reinforce individualised Indigenous failure early in the educational journey (Moodie et al, 2021). This demographic information provides an additional layer of understanding to the diversity of narratives captured in this study.…”

Research on transformative learning (Mezirow, 1991), particularly within the context of higher education, has demonstrated the significant impact university learning can have on a wide range of cohorts across diverse learning contexts. However, the extensive body of literature pertaining to transformative learning remains largely silent on the experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander university students and the extent to which their engagement with academia can be transformative. Nevertheless, Nakata’s (2007b) cultural interface theory has shaped policy, practice and thought in Indigenous higher education, elucidating the nuances, complexities and challenges that confront Indigenous students in their journey through university. In bringing together these two critical theories, this study investigated the journeys of three undergraduate Indigenous university students finding that university can indeed be a site of positive personal transformation. Such changes were fostered through critical peer support relationships, relationships with family and loved ones as well as a growing confidence and pride in their cultural identities. These findings have important implications for the way institutions support and teach Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students and provides a nuanced insight into their university journeys at the cultural interface.

“…In 2017, a collective of two Aboriginal researchers and twelve non-Indigenous researchers from 10 Australian universities came together to conduct a series of systematic reviews of empirical research published in field of Indigenous education (Guenther et al, 2019;Moodie et al, 2021). The reviews highlighted, yet again, that a scant body of research has so often underpinned many State and Federal programs that claim to be designed to improve the educational outcomes of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.…”

This paper situates the context of the Aboriginal Voices: The state of Aboriginal student experiences in Australian secondary school project special issue of The Australian Educational Researcher in the wider context of First Nations educational research. It outlines the contribution to scholarship that each of the papers within the special issue makes towards developing a more nuanced, research-informed, and deeper understanding about the current state of Aboriginal education in Australia from the voices of those at the coalface. In doing so, this editorial overview highlights that while racism is still rampant across the education sector, and Aboriginal Peoples continue to face deficit discourses about their being and academic capabilities, a new era of sovereign activism is being mobilised by Aboriginal Peoples, and their allies, to drive educational change.
