The Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success acknowledges Indigenous peoples across Australia as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which the nation’s campuses are situated. With a history spanning more than 60,000 years as the original educators, Indigenous peoples hold a unique place in our nation. We recognise the importance of their knowledge and culture, and reflect the principles of participation, equity, and cultural respect in our work. We pay our respects to Elders past, present, and future, and consider it an honour to learn from our Indigenous colleagues, partners, and friends.

Joseph Slavens, a Research Assistant and Research Team Co-Investigator at Azusa Pacific University (APU) in Los Angeles, and a Doctoral student in APU’s Higher Education Department, recently presented his American Tales of Social Justice Engagement at the NCSEHE in late 2015.

In his presentation, Joe discussed his team’s research, which has focused on the experiences of professional staff in Christian institutions of higher education within the United States, who have demonstrated a commitment to social justice. Based on these learnings, Joe offered insights and recommendations for practice.

Below is the full audio recording of Joe’s presentation, along with a transcript and corresponding PowerPoint slides.
