Rioli 'in a better space', Hinkley says
Port coach Ken Hinkley labels racist abuse directed towards Willie Rioli as "a disgrace", as the Power forward returns to training.
I got an HD on my latest assignment.. but the comments the marker left don't make sense.
He made 3 comments - the first one was that I needed to "outline what [I] know about Indigenous people and the criminal justice system", the second comment says "reads well with explicit focus on the cjs", the third says "strong professional focus upon nature of Indigenous Australian over-representation in cjs also applying cultural competency learning. Reads very well indeed."
I don't understand how I can both NOT outline the experience of Indigenous people in the cjs and also have outlined it enough to get those positive responses...?
Then in the overall feedback for the assessment he told me I have to "conceptualise settler colonialism".
He's a non-Indigenous academic.
It's a paper about cultural competency in professional practice, and the first sentence I've written positions me as a Kamilaroi person.
But he's going to tell me to "conceptualise settler colonialism".
Right.
