Abstract
The Aboriginal Voices project relies on engaging with two methodologies—systematic reviews and Indigenous methodologies. This approach draws on the methodological work of Petticrew and Roberts (Systematic reviews in the social sciences: A practical guide. Blackwell Publishing, 2006) on systematic reviews in the social sciences and the critical Indigenous research traditions championed by Indigenous scholars such as Linda Tuhiwai Smith, Lester-Irabinna Rigney and Marie Battiste. The explicit use of this critical approach acknowledges the colonial project of assimilating Indigenous people through schooling, and the central importance of Indigenous explanations of Indigenous experiences in schooling. Further the rigorous application of this methodology has meant that these discrete reviews can be brought to a single point of analysis to highlight systemic insights into the complex issues affecting the educational opportunities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students.
