Josh's story
"Learning to be critical and applying the appropriate theory gave me the words and explanations I needed to describe what I have always felt about education in Australia. I feel like the education afforded to me at the faculty has empowered me to disrupt curriculum that has worked to silence Indigenous knowledges."
