Mar. 20 CQ Event - Indigenous Education Research: Dialogue, Collaboration and Negotiation in a Complex Political Environment

Allan Luke will be giving a talk at OISE, Room 11-164, 252 Bloor St. west,
Toronto
Wednesday March 20, 2013 from 5-7 pm.
We have room for 60 people, first come, first served.

Sponsored by the Critical Qualitative Educational Research Community
(CQERC) at OISE, Allan's talk will address the question: what are the
practical, methodological and complex political negotiations entailed in
working in the gaps between cultures? Allan will be focusing on a
four-year research project he lead in Australia that was Australia's
largest scale mixed methods research evaluation of Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander education to date. Allan will talk to us about how
standpoint, voice, truth, and cultural politics are not always what they
seem.

A Canadian-trained primary teacher, Allan Luke completed doctoral studies
at Simon Fraser University, where he recently received an Honorary Doctor
of Laws. He has served as Dean of Education at the University of
Queensland, Deputy Director General of Queensland schools and Ministerial
advisor. Allan has also taught in Aboriginal and Islander Teacher
Education programs.
