This presentation will present a critique of educated whiteness in possessing aboriginal culture to reduce or eradicate the intellectualism and rigour of first nations knowledges and the ongoing denialism of Indigenous sciences that have sustained land, society and culture for millennia. I will be discussing the blue print of brutality and invasion of 1770 and then 1788, (referring to diaries of the time) as a foundational stone of systemised brutality that has found a covert and disguised existence in educational systems and its relationship to continual criminalisation of the black body, mind and society. Aileen Moreton-Robinson has established an important and critical body of work in averting white gaze to itself and planting the perspective of position and indigeneity as a mode of analysis to deconstruct whiteness.

This presentation will explore how Whiteness is constructed to demarcate culture from knowledge and objectify cultural capital to reinvade through colonial brutality.

Central to this is meaning ascribed by Whiteness to agency and legitimacy of cultural practise, knowledge and social existence as well as the policing of these to maintain possession and control. I will discuss what happens when possession of the erudite First Nations Intellect and science is resisted by the black body and mind and the forces deployed in Whiteness to reaffirm possession or re invade the Blak body, mind and society.
When policies in education and knowledge production discusses agency and responsibility, it does so referentially to itself and its own duty; via a sense or obligation that may (or may not) be discretionarily fulfilled by itself.
