Higher education tends to assume that if you want to ‘be here’ you must want to belong to the status quo – I am here for something different. I think the system needs a serious and deliberate (re)think. Many people never agreed or consented to its function or form in the first place.

Dr Aidan Cornelius-Bell is currently a Lecturer at the University of South Australia on secondment to Adelaide University. They are also Adjunct Lecturer with the Faculty of Arts and Society at Charles Darwin University. Aidan is a respectful guest on Kaurna Country.
Aidan is a multi-award-winning multi-disciplinary lecturer and course coordinator experienced in teaching cultural safety, the intersections of class, race and gender, Marxist sociology, student partnership, research methods, critical and academic literacy, information technology, and in foundation and bridging courses. As an active researcher in higher education, cultural studies, and political philosophy Aidan publishes on a range of activist, transformative and decolonial topics as well as conducting empirical research in clinical and allied health, curriculum design and radical sociology. Aidan’s academic background is in cultural studies, sociology, higher education and Marxist political philosophy. Starting in 2021, Aidan co-created the Aboriginal curriculum and pedagogy & decolonisation process (ACP) for UniSA and is now working in reciprocal relation with colleagues towards crafting decolonising and Indigenising frameworks for Adelaide University.
