| Summary: | The National Teaching Fellowship, Sociology Teaching and Indigenous Issues, was based on extending work I had undertaken in my PhD Teaching and Indigenous Sociology (2009) and as Chair of the Indigenisation of Curriculum Working Party at the University of Newcastle. As a result of these activities, I recognised a gap existed in disciplinary specific approaches to Indigenisation and as a Sociology-trained academic this became the focus of the Fellowship application. The Fellowship was shaped initially by focus group and interviews conducted with members of the National Indigenous Research and Knowledges Network and the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Higher Education Consortium. This nationally representative Indigenous academic body refocussed the Fellowship direction and dissemination. This shifted the focus to the Sociology of Religion specifically, alternative forms of dissemination and a focus on wide social impact both inside and outside of the academy. This change, while sometimes difficult to measure with regard to impact and outcome enriched the Fellowship immeasurably. The Fellowship also encompassed numerous workshops at local, state and national levels. This has led to change in the pedagogical practices of the discipline of Sociology at the Fellow’s home institution, the University of Newcastle and these can reasonably be expected to be ongoing. Key among the workshops was the Indigenous Sociology for Social Impact workshop, which identified ‘champions’ in Indigenous Sociology and used social media as a key method of dissemination.
