In this episode, Chelsea and David catch up with Hayley McQuire to talk about colonisation, education, and the work of advocating for anti-racist, anti-colonial approaches to teaching and learning. Hayley is a Darumbal and South Sea Islander woman born and raised in Rockhampton, Central Queensland. Her work is centered on community, relationality and convening new collectives to rethink education. She is the co-founder and CEO of The National Indigenous Youth Education Coalition, Co-Chair of Learning Creates Australia and board director for a number of non-profit organisations.

In this discussion, Chelsea, David and Hayley have a rich and rapid-fire conversation about all things Black knowing, and the key moments that mattered in shaping their experiences of schooling and formal education. They reflect on what it would take to embed Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing, being, and doing into school curriculum and models of teaching, and to create the kinds of education systems that we actually need in this political moment. And they talk about their ongoing struggle to build models of education and learning that actually teach the truth about Indigenous resistance, struggle, and sovereignty on this continent.
