Disturbances and Dislocations: Understanding Teaching and Learning Experiences in Australian Aboriginal Music.
Mackinlay, Elizabeth
Australian Journal of Indigenous Education, v29 n2 p1-7 2001
A White Australian professor of a class on Indigenous women's dance has her Aboriginal sister-in-law conduct workshops on Indigenous dance. The classroom dynamics resulting from the complex power relationships (teacher as White woman, Aboriginal family member, and students) disturbs Western paradigms. The responsibility of "safely delivering" Indigenous knowledge is likened to that of a midwife. (TD)
