Career Summary
Biography
I am a non-Indigenous person of this land with ancestral ties to Devon England and Connacht Ireland. I was born on Kamilaroi Country, Tamworth, and spent most of my early life on Worimi Country, Nelson Bay, just north of Mulubinba, Newcastle, the land of the Awabakal and Worimi Nations. I currently live and work on Awabakal, Worimi, Darkinjung and Gumbaynggirr Countries. My research relationships have emerged in the sub-disciplines of Indigenous-led geographies, Geographies of humanitarian settlement; and, Critical development studies.
Indigenous-led geographies
Project title - 'Caring for Country: Geographies of Co-existence in Gumbaynggirr Country' (ARC Linkage Grant: July 2016-2021): This research project, led by Aunty Shaa Smith, aims to work with Gumbaynggirr people and Country, to build a better understanding of what Gumbaynggirr-led Caring for Country might look like in the context of Natural Resource Management (NRM), and how it might be practiced, today. The research is a collaboration between Gumbaynggirr people led by Aunty Shaa Smith with Neeyan Smith, the Jaliigirr Biodiversity Alliance of NRM organisations, UON (Sarah Wright, Lara Daley & myself), and Gumbaynggirr Country on the NSW mid-north coast.

As Aunty Shaa explains:
We call our group Yandaarra, which is Gumbaynggirr for a group going together, shifting camp together. This is also the name for our research and our work together. We see Yandaarra, our research, as a re-creation story. It’s about remembering what was (what is) as part of this re-creating. This work is about honouring Elders and custodians past, present and future. Our guidance from them is so important; it’s timeless, relevant for ever. Stories don’t belong to one time but for all time. This story that we’re doing now, the research, is relevant for then and now and for the future.
Gumbaynggirr Jagun Aboriginal Corporation is led by Aunty Shaa Smith, Neeyan Smith and Gumbaynggirr Country to help heal self, community and Country (Gumbaynggirr Jagun)
Project title - 'Juungambala: More-than-human agreement making with/as Gumbaynggirr Country' (ARC Linkage Grant: Feb 2022 - 2027): This project arises out of Gumbaynggirr Country, its stories, songlines and relationships. It brings together Gumbaynggirr Custodians, NRM practitioners, the Jaliigirr Biodiversity Alliance and Bellinger Landcare, and the University of Newcastle, to better understand and practice the learning from this, and other stories, songs and songlines of Gumbaynggirr Country, mid-north coast NSW. Gumbaynggirr Country is the homeland of the Gumbaynggirr people, from the Clarence River in the North to the Nambucca River in the south, the Pacific Ocean in the east and the Great Dividing Range in the west. The stories and songs of this Country, such as the story of the koala, Dunggirr, and the whale, Guruuja, are more than a moral fable, they are Law/Lore, statements of more-than-human sovereignty, of legal orders and agreements, and of belonging with place. This research project, led by Aunty Shaa Smith, Uncle Bud Marshall, Neeyan Smith and Gumbaynggirr Country continues the work of Yandaarra building on the previous grant by attempting to practice what it means to live the creation time now.
Led by Uncle Bud Marshall, the Buluunggul (Mullet) Festival is celebrating its second year Saturday 6 May, 2023. The festival aims to be a welcoming day where Gumbaynggirr custodians can share connections with Country and nourish relations with Buluunggul. The Festival celebrates the sculpture of Gumbaynggirr custodian Uncle Benji unveiled at the inaugural Buluunggul Festival in 2022. The Buluunggul Festival

Geographies of humanitarian settlement
Project title - 'Settling Well: A longitudinal study of refugees in regional Australia' (ARC Linkage Grant: Feb 2022 - 2027): This research aims to provide the first longitudinal, comparative assessment of the impacts of humanitarian migrant's settlement in regional Australia, for both humanitarian migrants themselves and the communities in which they settle. The project uses a mixed-method and multi-sited approach to generate new knowledge of the opportunities and challenges for sustainable settlement in regional Australia. The Settling Well project works across six study sites in regional New South Wales (NSW), Queensland (QLD) and Victoria (VIC). Selected case study sites encompass diverse groups of humanitarian migrants and destination communities, and different approaches to regional settlement (e.g. settlement that is government-led, community-led, business-led, or migrant-led).
The Settling Well project team recognises that First Nations communities have rarely been invited into discussions about regional settlement as part of Australia's humanitarian migration policy despite being the First Peoples of these settlement sites. We feel this has to change. This project acknowledges the enduring presences of First Peoples. A fundamental part of this acknowledgement is for us to respectfully listen and sit with First Nations communities to hear if there are ways and practices of ensuring regional settlement is done the right way.
Settling Well partner organisations include: AMES Australia, Australian Red Cross Society, Department of Home Affairs, Multicultural Australia Ltd., Multicultural NSW.
Critical development studies
Strengths-based approaches (SBA) and community development in rural India (Research collaboration with colleagues at the TATA Institute, Mumbai, India): This research collaboration aims to draw on strengths-based approaches to highlight what they have to offer in rural contexts in India. Research undertaken in 2019 using participatory asset mapping found that strengths-based approaches, such as asset mapping, revealed self-described vocabularies, reflections and evaluations of participant's life worlds in ways that dominant nation-wide research surveys do not.
Source: Deepshi Arya (Participatory asset mapping exercises, Rural India)
The research also found that the Gram Sabhas - the locally elected village-level tier of the decentralised Panchayat Raj system - provides the conditions of possibility for realising the benefits of strengths-based methods, especially given the participatory functions of the Gram Sabhas are sanctioned by law. Contributing to a Springer Book Series, the collaboration are working on a book due for release 2024 that outlines what SBA could offer in discerning monitory and evaluation processes as part of calculating India's Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) updates.
Vegan Geographies
This research is an emerging collaboration with fellow Australian vegan geographers, Associate Professor Andrew McGregor and Dr Donna Houston (Macquarie University), Dr Yamini Narayanan (Deakin University), Dr Richard White (Sheffield Hallam University, UK) and Dr Simon Springer (Victoria University, Canada).
Critical pedagogy
This research focus (with geography colleagues Associate Professor Sarah Wright and Dr Lara Daley, UON) makes contributions in critical pedagogy in development studies. The research explores experiential student learning when ‘on-Country’ with traditional custodians in the Northern Territory (Hodge et al 2011; Wright & Hodge, 2012; Hodge, Wright, Mozeley, 2014).

As part of an ARC Linkage Grant (July 2016-2021), Paul, Sarah and Lara, along with Gumbaynggirr knowledge holders Aunty Shaa Smith and Neeyan Smith, the Jaliigirr Biodiversity Alliance and Gumbaynggirr Country, aim to explore ways in which Gumbaynggirr-led Caring for Country practices could be used to educate students in their future professions. Paul has been drawing on the learnings from Aunty Shaa and Country to inform and guide pedagogies in the classroom.
Gumbaynggirr custodian Bernard Kelly-Edwards and Awabakal, Kamilaroi and Mandandanji custodian Kevin Gavi Duncan is working with Paul to co-design a longitudinal project, student-centred study entitled, ‘Student co-learning with Country: place-based decolonising pedagogies for work/life in a climate changing world’. The project aims to trace student learning over time when guided by Indigenous custodians and Country. The place-based pedagogies have multiple feedback loops built into project implementation enabling iterative processes for culturally relevant place-based curricula.
Teaching Philosophy
My teaching and learning philosophy is grounded in nurturing life-long learning. My courses enable and encourage students to develop a keen and critical sense of the world around them. I design courses that foster the importance of relationships and the creation of safe learning spaces that reassure all students of their capacity to actively participate in the class and broader community. By integrating ‘two-way learning’, where students are empowered to draw on their life experiences, the classroom is transformed into a place of constructive, active learning and critical engagement. Cultivating a collaborative pedagogy I provide opportunities for students to become aware of their strengths and capacities and use these to contribute to real solutions in a climate-changing world.
Research collaborations and Community outreach
I am convenor and co-founder of the newly formed (2014) Critical Development Study Group (CDSG) of the Institute of Australian Geographers (IAG). In collaboration with a number of national and international colleagues, the Study Group is forming key trans-Tasman alliances with networks including the Political Geography Research Group (Institute of British Geographers - IBG), Aotearoa New Zealand International Development Studies Network (DevNet), the Development Studies Group of the New Zealand Geographical Society (NZGS), the Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) University Network, and the Department of Development, Government and International Affairs and Geography, Earth Science and Environment both at the University of the South Pacific, Laucala, Suva, Fiji. Our emerging research agenda involves identifying individual and collective strengths (including, crucially, post-graduate and early career colleagues) to develop strong international links and grant platforms. At the 2014 IAG Conference in Melbourne I chaired a CDSG panel on critical interventions in development studies. I am now assembling the papers as Special Issue Editor for publication in Geographical Research. Between 2011 and 2013 I worked with an active editing team as Book Editor for Asia Pacific Viewpoint, an international journal based in Aotearoa/New Zealand and published by Wiley Asia.
I have an active community engagement presence in environmental and social justice advocacy. I have been invited to be on Sustainability Q&A Panels (UoN Student Environment Club Environment Week, 2014; Vegan Week – Animal Liberation, 2014), co-founded and coordinated the African Australia Alliance for Peace and Reconciliation Inc (AAAPR) which identifies and builds on the strengths and capacities of newly arrived refugees and their families in Newcastle. I am an active member of Refugee Action Network Newcastle (RANN) participating in organisational processes, fundraisers and events. I am a social and political columnist for the Newcastle Leader Newspaper (Circulation 43 000). In 2011-2013 I was a volunteer Ethics Teacher and one of the original cohort of ethics teachers who rolled out the State-wide Primary Ethics curriculum for years 5 and 6 at Newcastle East Public School.
Administrative expertise
Ethics Policy Officer (SELS): I am currently Ethics Policy Officer for the School of Environmental and Life Sciences, an ongoing role I have had since 2012. As Ethics Policy Officer I coordinate and liaise with researchers throughout the peer review process matching appropriate reviewers within the school to ensure timely and efficient submission of ethics applications.
Discipline of Geography and Environmental Studies Seminar Series Coordinator: Since 2012, I have undertaken the role of Discipline Seminar Series Coordinator. The Seminar Series runs in both semesters and showcases the research of 12 scholars throughout the year. The role involves tapping into exiting networks with international and domestic scholars and developing new cross-institutional relationships to ensure high quality presenters.
Bachelor of Development Studies Program Management Committee Member: I am currently the Discipline of Geography and Environmental Studies representative to the Bachelor of Development Studies Program Management Committee. This role involves active participation in the management and development of the degree program reporting on curriculum delivery and discussion on student outcomes.

Pushing the conceptual boundaries of practice-based learning and communities of practice, this chapter draws on student experiential fieldwork 'on Country' with Indigenous people in the Northern Territory (NT), Australia, to explore the peculiar silence when it comes to more-than-human1 features of situated learning models. As students engage with, and learn from, Indigenous epistemologies and ontologies, they become open to the ways their learning is co-produced in and with place. The chapter builds a case for an inclusive conceptualisation of communities of practice, one that takes seriously the material performativity of nonhuman actors - rock art, animals, plants and emotions in the 'situatedness' of socio-cultural contexts. As a co-participant in the students' community of practice, the more-than-human forms part of the process of identity formation and actively helps students learn. To shed light on the student experiences we employ Leximancer, a software tool that provides visual representations of the qualitative data drawn from focus groups with students and field diaries.

The peer mentors in this study are high-achieving students who previously completed the same course and who were hired and trained to facilitate Peer Assisted Study Sessions (PASS). PASS gives students the opportunity to deepen their understanding through revision and active learning and are typically held outside of class time. In contrast, our trial embedded peer mentors into classes for a large (-250 students) first-year workshop-based course. We employed a participatory action research methodology to facilitate the peer mentors' cocreation of the research process. Data sources include peer mentors' journal entries, student cohort data, and a focus group with teaching staff. We found that during face-to-face workshops, peer mentors role-modelled ideal student behaviour (e.g., asking questions) rather than acting as additional teachers, and this helped students to better understand how to interact effectively in class. The identity of embedded peer mentors is neither that of teachers nor of students, and it instead spans aspects of both as described using a three-part schema comprising (i) identity, (ii) associated roles, and (iii) associated practices. As we moved classes online mid-semester in response to the COVID- 19 pandemic, mentors' identities remained stable, but mentors adjusted their associated roles and practices, including through the technical aspects of their engagement with students. This study highlights the benefits of embedding mentors in classrooms on campus and online.

[more] On Gumbaynggirr Country (mid-north coast New South Wales, Australia), an act of violence against the sacredness of life and Country resulted in Wirriiga, the Two Sisters, making the sea. When the waters rose, the people made their way back to their homeland by following a gut-string bridge made by Dunggiirr, the Koala Brothers. While the people were on the bridge, mischievous Baalijin, the eastern quoll, threatened to chop it down and made waves that nearly washed them off. Baalijin challenges complacency and forces change, and on that understanding in this article we consider what it means to be living this present time of instability and changes wrought by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); ours is a perspective grounded in story and Gumbaynggirr Law/Lore. We write as Yandaarra, a research collective guided by the Old Fellas (ancestors) and led by Aunty Shaa Smith, storyholder for Gumbaynggirr Country, and her daughter Neeyan Smith, a young Gumbaynggirr woman. Learning from a Gumbaynggirr-led understanding of COVID-19¿as one manifestation of Baalijin and relationships fallen out of balance¿re-situates the pandemic in wider and longer histories of colonisation and destructive patterns of existence and broken agreements. Those learnings prompt us to call for Juungambala¿work involved in setting things right as a way to heal. Let Baalijin and COVID-19 be the wake-up call that forces the change that Country (and we) need.

These dilemmas have intensified as neoliberal ¿arts of government¿ become more widespread and a ¿results agenda¿ more entrenched. Recent studies explore how community development practitioners manage the ambiguities of this current context. This article contributes by exploring how practitioners who work with Aboriginal communities in Central and Northern Australia navigate the dilemmas they encounter. Consistent with other studies, we find that practitioners draw on the foundations of community development practice while also responding to the specific characteristics of the setting. We discuss three principal strategies used by community development practitioners (patience, ¿letting go,¿ and negotiation), and we identify the implications for deepening community development practice and shifting the policy setting. This article demonstrates how even in a context that seems tightly prescribed by neoliberal arts of government practitioners are actively finding ways of valuing and supporting community knowledge, priorities, and time frames.

As minority world governments deploy various apparatuses of security to govern the circulation of 'unruly' populations, the world's most vulnerable people have been reconstituted as security threats. In this paper I trace this 'transfer of illegitimacy' and criminalisation of asylum seeker bodies in the context of the Australian government's newly deployed Operation Sovereign Borders. Drawing on Foucault's governmentality as a domain of security and Butler's articulation of recognition, precariousness and grievability, I explore both the subjectivities formed as a function and technique of securing Australia's borders and the way this framing produces a certain governed reality that 'acts upon the senses' to delimit public discourse. I argue that the range of discursive and non-discursive practises that make up Operation Sovereign Borders has dire implications for those seeking asylum in Australia. Not only do these practises constitute a social crafting where conditions for a flourishing life are diminished, but this crafting of precarity is carried out in the name of securing citizens lives. The life of the asylum seekers is a life unrecognised in the violent frames of Operation Sovereign Borders.

[more] Drawing predominantly on the work of Butler, Rose and Walters, this paper examines the governing rationalities and technologies that characterise one particular site of aid relations. Focusing on key policy documents, economic surveys and performance reports, the paper traces the fashioning of particular subjectivities as constitutive of AusAID's development objectives and the function of problematisation and responsibilisation as central to these practices of subjectivation. While I argue the freedom on offer as part of AusAID's development objectives is a highly governed one - where the 'free' economic-rational subject adopts certain 'civilised sensibilities' (Rose, 1999: 78), I show how this process of subjectivation encompasses both 'a power exerted on a subject' and 'a power assumed by the subject' (Butler, 1997: 11). What becomes apparent through this analysis is the productive and tenuous characteristics of these practices of subject formation. This paper also foregrounds the practice of critique itself, and the very act of research; concepts adopted and explanations made, as far from innocent in their performativity in enacting some worlds and not others.
