Abstract
This paper begins by considering the status of school based research and takes as its point of reference one particular moment. It reflects on an event that occurred at an interdisciplinary conference, namely the point at which several of the audience exited the presentation of a school based research paper entitled Judgements on Justice: Young People and Aboriginal Reconciliation. The exit occurred after it was stated that the research took place in school but before the analytical directions or theoretical form of paper were fully clarified. The Judgments research project, focused on primary school children's understanding of issues associated with reconciliation. The project identified recurring concepts, terms, ideas and narratives in interview material in order to analyse the relationship between reconciliation, racialisation and racism. Apart from commenting on the findings and theoretical implications of the Judgements project, this paper contemplates, in terms of exits and racialised disinterest, the expectations and receptions accorded to both school based research and the 'unassailable' category status of the notion 'reconciliation'.
