DESCRIPTION:This talk will be focusing on Indigenous educational disadvant
 age in Australia. The speaker's research builds on an initial intention to
  convey to some extent what it is like being an Indigenous student at an A
 ustralian high school in New South Wales.\nWhile still at tentative stage\
 , the presentation seeks to highlight some of the key points that emerged 
 from interviews with Indigenous students who signify a site of disjuncture
  between policy discourse framing the educational ‘gap’ between non-In
 digenous and Indigenous Australians and the experience of those who potent
 ially inhabit it. Lilly asserts that Indigenous ‘disadvantage’ has bee
 n positioned in a way that disconnects it from its historical inception an
 d situates it as external to the social universe of non-Indigenous Austral
 ians.\nShe will also briefly touch upon some of the methodological challen
 ges she has encountered so far\, particularly relating to the complexities
  and responsibilities that characterize her own position as an Indigenous 
 researcher in education undertaking research with Indigenous students.\n
