RONALD M & CATHERINE H BERNDT BIENNIAL LECTURE 2012 : THE RIGHTS AND BLIGHTS OF THE POLITICS OF INDIGENOUS HIGHER EDUCATION |

It is clear from their voluminous scholarly output over five decades that Ronald and Catherine Berndt were
keen observers of ‘the winds of change’ that were blowing strongly across most of Aboriginal Australia
in that period. We contemporary scholars are closely watching both changes emanating from outside
our communities and those that we as Indigenous Australians have instigated and moulded from within.
A particular focus of this lecture is how Indigenous Higher Education policies, programs and practices
have been shaped by the politics of Indigenous self-determination and supported by social justice and
human rights agendas. These frameworks have also guided argument, advocacy and activism in the wider
arena of Indigenous affairs, providing much of its language and forms of analysis. Today, however, there is
evidence of a growing frustration that such frameworks have prevented alternative arguments, priorities
and possibilities from entering public discourse. In this lecture, I discuss how these frameworks mutually
constitute and uphold forms of analysis in Indigenous academia and Indigenous affairs in ways that fail to
engage with the complexity of the contemporary space in which we as Indigenous people find ourselves today.
