"Workplaces can be hostile, overwhelming and unwelcoming places for many First
Nations Peoples. My research has explored how this is the case in many
organisations, including universities.
White organisations often expect First Nations People to take on additional
unpaid work such as providing cultural expertise, educating colleagues and
additional networking with First Nations organisations. Often this is done
without the First Nations person being given any avenue to be promoted to a
leadership role.
White people can react negatively when a person of colour questions or tries to
change what white people consider common understandings. Due to these
environments, it often feels like as academics, we’re unable to examine
complicated or complex issues caused by ongoing effects of colonisation - such
as racism."
