Abstract
In this chapter, I explore the potential and possibilities of diffraction methodology in relationship to, with and through decoloniality. With reference to my experiences teaching Indigenous Australian Studies in tertiary contexts, I position diffraction-in-relation-to decoloniality as a possibility for challenging, interfering and transforming the ways that we might do difference differently within and against colonial in our work and lives as teachers-as-learners-as-researchers. Throughout this chapter I take a story-telling approach with the explicit intention to make room for paying attention to the little differences. It is my contention that such interferences of difference and their effects indeed do matter in relation to moving and dancing towards decoloniality, performing an 'ethico-onto-epistem-ology' and the transformative potential of arts-based teaching and learning spaces in the academy.
