Part of that brokenness was because I realised I’d spent a hell of a lot of time just being completely compliant and accepting things just the way they are. The wonderful gift that university education has given me is an understanding that the Eurocentric design is: a) not 100% Eurocentric in terms of the knowledge it has built as some of it is stolen and appropriated, b) that it’s not the be all and end all, and c) I could really clearly see the way knowledge presents itself is a whiteness-by-default position."⁠ ⁠ Wanna learn more about Dr Tess Ryan, Biripai country Aboriginal writer, academic, consultant?
