Funded Activity Summary

Bubalamai Bawa Gumada. Healing the Wounds of the Heart: A Research-Based Intervention Diminishing the Impact of Racism and Stereotype Threat. Indigenous students are not achieving academic outcomes commensurate with non-Indigenous peers. Although research has identified contributing factors, little is known of the effect of cultural stereotypes on Indigenous students' academic outcomes. This research will implement an innovative new intervention to address stereotyping in secondary schools for Indigenous students and evaluate the intervention's impact on mental health and academic functioning. This research offers important educational and socio-economic benefits by enriching the psychosocial adjustment and life potential of Indigenous Australians. This will foster schools free from racism and stereotyping that will contribute to individual, community, and national wellbeing.
