“…This in conjunction with disability status, which is generally reported to lead to increased stigmatisation among racialised groups, likely leads to greater discrimination experienced by Indigenous people with disability (Banks & Hughes 2013). These compounding forms of discrimination have a negative impact on grades and educational engagement, and cause many to avoid educational settings, which impedes the attainment of education and all of its benefits (Moodie et al 2019).…”

“…The effects of racism on Indigenous people has been well documented and includes worsening health and barriers to attaining housing, education and other necessities (Paradies and Cunningham, 2012; Anderson & Collins 2014; Kelaher et al, 2014; Moodie et al 2019). Indigenous people with disability are at considerable risk of exposure to discrimination, given their multiple marginalised identities and necessity of placing themselves in contexts that may expose them to racism (e.g.…”

Using the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Survey, this paper examines exposure to interpersonal racism and avoidance reported by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people with disabilities. We find that in 2014–2015, 32 per cent of people aged 15–64 without a disability experienced racism compared with 42 per cent of those with a disability. Half of those living with an intellectual or psychological disability reported racism, and about 20 per cent of those with any disability avoided settings such as healthcare, education or the general public due to past instances of racism, relative to 11 per cent of those without a disability. After adjusting for confounding factors and complex survey design, presence of a disability was associated with a 1.6–1.8 odds increase in exposure to racism, more frequent racist exposure and avoidance. Disability was further associated with an approximate doubling of the odds of reporting multi‐context avoidance and the likelihood of reporting both racism and avoidance in tandem. Severity of disability, higher numbers of disabling conditions and specific disability types were associated with increased odds of racism and avoidance. Independent of these effects, removal from one's natural family and identifying with homelands was strongly associated with racism and avoidance.

“…Education is one of the contributing factors to the gap in income and employment outcomes between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous population. Studies report that racism as well as standard educational practices or policies in Australia (e.g., Eurocentric culture, English language as standard) place institutional barriers and adversely affect the Indigenous students (De Plevitz 2007 ; Moodie, Maxwell, and Rudolph 2019 ). This is reflected in achievement gaps as indicated in the 2018 Closing the Gap report which shows a persistent gap in attendance and retention rates, with worse outcome for remote communities (Australian Government 2019 ).…”

“…So, seeing them as school, as just one teacher that they know really well, that they are looking at as just a person who is going to help them achieve one really simple aim in the classroom, breaks it down for them and they view it differently I think. Moodie, Maxwell and Rudolph's (2019) reported that one effect of racism in Australian education systems has been YP's cultural deidentification. Following from Mark's and Mara's suggestions, what options then become available in circumstances where safety and opportunity are understood to be present within the events taking place?…”

Availability to quality education is significantly beneficial to the life prospects of young people. In particular, for young people caught up in the justice system, it is argued that involvement in education reduces risk of further criminality and improves a person’s prospects for future community engagement. This paper overviews a recent study undertaken in the Australian state of Victoria. The study worked with project partner, Parkville College, the government school operating inside the state’s two detention centres, to examine what supports and hinders education for students in custody. Amongst other purposes, education should be about the pursuit of justice and if accepted as an ontological opportunity, education can invite the pursuit of a particular kind of justice ‐ psychosocial justice. Subsequently, psychosocial theory applied to educational practice in youth detention is inextricably linked to issues concerning justice, both for how theory is invoked and ways in which practice is enacted. The paper first introduces the concept of psychosocial justice then hears from staff connected to Parkville College regarding issues and concerns related to their work. As shown, education for incarcerated young people, not just in Australia but internationally, is enhanced by contributions from psychosocial studies providing a means to pursuing justice informed by a politics of psychosocialism.
