Forum response

Thank you to the authors of the comments on our Forum Article Voice: A Third Space in Archaeology to Advance Indigenous Emancipation, for their praise and constructive comments. We note the overwhelmingly positive receipt of our Forum Article, and we welcome the range of constructive critiques. In our response below, we selectively address those comments that are most conducive to deepening future work related to Voice. In the spirit of Voice, Australian Archaeology, sought and obtained a review by a community-based Aboriginal organisation. This is critical to strengthening local Indigenous Voices and ensuring academic research becomes more accessible to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community organisations. This diversifies the content of Australian Archaeology and averts epistemic injustice in the sense articulated by Miranda Fricker (Citation2007). Fricker (Citation2007:69) defines epistemic injustice as the wrong that occurs when a testimony to something is received with doubt due to the prejudice or bias of the receiver of the testimony, for example, in the context of a litigated dispute.
