Abstract

This chapter reflects on some concrete ways that we might begin to decolonise theological institutions in the Australian context. Drawing on the author’s extensive experience working in colleges and universities, this chapter indicates some of the barriers that have prevented Aboriginal students from succeeding in theological education. Moreover, it identifies and suggests practical steps that institutions can take in order to begin making their spaces more accessible. The chapter explores the challenges and possibilities of theological institutions receiving Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, and other Indigenous people’s knowledge, experiences, and perspectives in the hopes that future theological education is decolonized, sustainable and re-energised.
