Abstract | Owing to an emerging collection of Critical Race Theory (CRT) work within Australian education that has scrutinised the racial inequities confronting Indigenous Australians, a range of government-mandated changes have been implemented in the national curriculum to ‘close the gap’ for Indigenous students. However, beyond these initial steps towards equity in formal curriculum content, not much is known about if, or how, Australian schoolteachers in general enact a critically conscious lived curriculum, and even less is known about how Australian teachers from non-Indigenous minority backgrounds might do so in solidarity with Indigenous Australians. In light of this, in this essay I use Asian CRT (AsianCrit) to frame an autoethnographic account of learning to live an anti-racist solidarity-centred curriculum as an ‘Asian’ Australian high school teacher during the confluence of new and old racisms in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. |
