(Re)presenting Indigeneity

The possibilities of Australian sociology

Kathleen Butler-McIlwraith

University of Newcastle, NSW

Recent calls for sociology to develop a greater engagement with Indigenous issues provide a unique opportunity to enfranchise Indigenous peoples’ voices and experiences in both the discipline and the mainstream academy. In this article I seek to establish a position that reflects my understandings of the Indigenous lived experience and its expression within sociology, simultaneously recognizing and challenging the way in which these understandings are shaped by discourses of both Western hegemony and marginality.

Key Words: Indigenous peoples • marginality • sociology
