Career Summary
Biography
She is a member of the Bawaka Collective with Laklak Burarrwanga, Ritjilili Ganambarr, Merrkiyawuy Ganambarr-Stubbs and Banbapuy Ganambarr, four senior Yolŋu sisters from Northeast Arnhem Land with their daughter, Djawundil Maymuru, and Kate Lloyd and Sandie Suchet-Pearson from Macquarie University. The Collective’s work promotes a deeply collaborative Indigenous-led understanding of time/place, extending more-than-human methodologies and challenging human centred, non-Indigenous and Western understandings (and practices) within the academy and beyond it. Together they have explored what it might mean to take Indigenous ontologies of co-becoming seriously, in ways that might help better understand theoretical concepts such as space and place, and also to move towards a de-colonised, Indigenous-led practice in development studies and natural resource management. The group’s work centres Indigenous ontologies to include Country as a co-author (Bawaka et al 2020; 2019; 2016; 2013; Wright et al 2012) in publications and ethics review processes.
She is also part of Yandaarra, from Gumbaynggirr Country on the mid-North Coast of NSW. Yandaarra means 'shifting camp together' in Gumbaynggirr and, together, the group, led by Aunty Shaa Smith and Uncle Bud Marshall, looks to better understand, and practice, caring for Country in a heavily colonised context.
She has a strong commitment to collaborative work and praxis and works closely with community groups, NGOs and social movements in Australia, the Philippines and Kenya. She has worked in the Philippines for 20 years with organisations of small-scale organic farmers and Indigenous people. Her work focuses on the politics of knowledge, the way that different knowledges are experienced in place and the ways they have been variously adopted, reworked and contested at different scales. She has developed collaborations with government and community partners in Australia and internationally.
Research Expertise
Associate Professor Wright's research is focused on the areas of Indigenous geographies, science studies and critical development studies. Her work is underpinned by a commitment to social and environmental justice. In Indigenous geographies, her contributions are primarily through a successful ongoing collaboration with Dr Sandie Suchet-Pearson and Dr Kate Lloyd and five Yolngu women, Laklak Burarrwanga and family, from Bawaka in the Northeast Arnhem Land. Together they have explored what it might mean to take Indigenous ontologies of co-becoming seriously, in ways that might help better understand theoretical concepts such as space and place, and also to move towards a de-colonised, Indigenous-led practice in development studies and natural resource management. The group’s work centres Indigenous ontologies to include Country as a co-author (Bawaka et al 2013; Wright et al 2012) in publications and ethics review processes.
She is also involved with a Indigenous-non-Indigenous research collective called Yandaarra from Gumbaynggirr Country on the mid-North Coast of NSW. Yandaarra means 'shifting camp together' in Gumbaynggirr and, together, the group looks to better understand, and practice, caring for Country in a heavily colonised context.
Her research in science studies has a specific emphasis on Indigenous knowledge systems and intellectual property, particularly as they relate to geographies of food and food sovereignty. Her work focuses on the politics of knowledge, the way that different knowledges are experienced in place and the ways they have been variously adopted, reworked and contested at different scales. She has developed collaborations with government and community partners in Australia and internationally. In Australia, she has been approached to evaluate educational tourism options, collaborate on the production of materials including websites (Biliru, Mills), co-write books (Burarrwanga et al 2008; Ong’Wen and Wright 2007; Yap et al 2004), write policy documents (Bachmann, Cruzada and Wright 2008), and run pilot study tours (Wagiman Women Rangers, Juma experiences). She has also worked in the Philippines and Kenya supporting farmer-led and Indigenous-led movements.
Teaching Expertise
Associate Professor Wright's teaching is focused on human geography with a specialisation in critical development studies. She has a Graduate Certificate in the Practice of Tertiary Teaching from the University of Newcastle and has supplemented her formal qualifications in teaching with participation in programs to strengthen her teaching skills including with a year long teaching support program involving training, ongoing consultation and evaluation with the renowned Center for Instructional Development and Research at the University of Washington, USA. Through her teaching she aims for a constructive learning environment that empowers students and facilitates them developing a love of learning that will stay with them throughout their lives. She aims to encourage an effective learning community both within and beyond her classes. This involves building trust and respectful relationships that support diversity through course design and in the classroom. It is her aim that students develop critical thinking skills and broadly applicable competencies, and come to view themselves as empowered citizens with important contributions to make in the classroom and in broader society. Her teaching experience is informed by 20 years professional work as a practitioner and educator in group facilitation, cross-cultural awareness training and community-based environmental education working with non-government organisations and community groups in the Philippines, Cuba, Australia and the US. Wright values collaboration in teaching and research and places high importance in making contributions that extend beyond the classroom. She has also developed collaborations with government, community and indigenous partners that bring students and community together through practical-based fieldwork and research. She worked with Indigenous partners and students to help evaluate educational tourism options, to collaborate on the production of educational materials (Biliru, Darwin), to develop a pilot study tour (Wagiman Women Rangers, Tjuwaliyn) and co-produce a publication on the practice and cultural importance of weaving for an Indigenous cross-cultural womens program in Arnhem Land (Gaywu womens program).

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.

[more] © 2020 Institute of Australian Geographers 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.

In my response to Rose-Redwood et al.¿s (2018) ¿The Possibilities and Limits to Dialogue¿ (Dialogues in Human Geography 8(2): 109¿123), I attend to the question of what it means to refuse dialogue. Dialogue as it is often deployed is supported by a host of colonial logics that position many marginalized humans, and nonhumans, as unable to communicate ¿rationally¿ (that is to dialogue). Drawing on the work of Indigenous scholars, Glen Coulthard ((2014) Red Skin, White Masks: Rejecting the Colonial Politics of Recognition. Minneapolis, MN: University of Minnesota Press.), Audra Simpson ((2007) Ethnographic refusal: indigeneity, ¿voice¿ and colonial citizenship. Junctures: The Journal for Thematic Dialogue 9: 67¿80; (2014) Mohawk Interruptus: Political Life Across the Borders of Settler States. Durham, UK: Duke University Press.), and others, I suggest that refusal can mean more than merely stepping outside dialogue, allowing the problematic to pass unchallenged. Rather, refusal may be a way of resisting, reframing, and redirecting colonial and capitalist logics, constituting both an important political strategy and an assertion of diverse sovereignties and lifeworlds. Refusal, in these contexts, is neither a negation of the need for dialogue nor a withdrawal from the need to counter colonialism, but a refusal to be drawn into politics that enable colonialism, and so can be a strong assertion of sovereignty. I then position myself in relation to this work, thinking through what refusal as dialogue might mean as a non-Indigenous human geographer living and working on stolen land, committed to the complex, even intractable, task of supporting decolonization.

[more] © 2018 Victoria University of Wellington and John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd A diversity of place-based community economic practices that enact ethical interdependence has long enabled livelihoods in Monsoon Asia. Managed either democratically or coercively, these culturally inflected practices have survived the rise of a cash economy, albeit in modified form, sometimes being co-opted to state projects. In the modern development imaginary, these practices have been positioned as ¿traditional¿, ¿rural¿ and largely superseded. But if we read against the grain of modernisation, a largely hidden geography of community economic practices emerges. This paper introduces the project of documenting keywords of place-based community economies in Monsoon Asia. It extends Raymond William¿s cultural analysis of keywords into a non-western context and situates this discursive approach within a material semiotic framing. The paper has been collaboratively written with co-researchers across Southeast Asia and represents an experimental mode of scholarship that aims to advance a post-development agenda.

The Vidarbha region in Maharashtra, India, home to 3.4 million smallholder farmers, is a major cotton-producing region in one of the wealthiest Indian states. However, between 1995 and 2013, more than 60,000 farmers took their own lives. Many of these suicides have been linked to extreme debt created by the expensive mono-cropping of Bt cotton. Some farming households have responded to these pressures by abandoning Bt cotton growing and turning to sustainable agriculture using traditional mixedcropping methods. Yet the question remains: have the changes produced better livelihoods in Vidarbha? Using a food sovereignty framework, we assess the impact of these changes through an analysis of a 200-household survey across six districts in Vidarbha. We also explore the meaning of food sovereignty for those who practise it, seeking to better understand some of the complexities and experiences associated with the term.

We invite readers to dig for ganguri (yams) at and with Bawaka, an Indigenous Homeland in northern Australia, and, in doing so, consider an Indigenous-led understanding of relational space/place. We draw on the concept of gurrutu to illustrate the limits of western ontologies, open up possibilities for other ways of thinking and theorizing, and give detail and depth to the notion of space/place as emergent co-becoming. With Bawaka as lead author, we look to Country for what it can teach us about how all views of space are situated, and for the insights it offers about co-becoming in a relational world.

This paper investigates the writing of situated knowledge and explores the possibilities of enacting difference by writing differently. We present a selection of research stories in which carrier bags, sounds, baskets, gardens and potatoes are interpreted less as objects of research or metaphors to aid in analysing phenomena, than as mediators of the stories. Our stories emphasise the ontological politics of engaging with and representing the relational, the messy, the spontaneous, the unpredictable, the non-human and bodily experiences. These stories demonstrate how writing is performative and how it is integral to the production of knowledge.

As we hunt wäkun, we discuss our work as an Indigenous and non-Indigenous, human and more-than-human research collective trying to attend deeply to the messages we send and receive from, with and as a part of Country. The wäkun, and all the animals, plants, winds, processes, things, dreams and people that emerge together in nourishing, co-constitutive ways to create Bawaka Country, are the author-ity of our research. Our reflection is both methodological and ontological as we aim to attend deeply to Country and deliberate on what a Yol¿u ontology of co-becoming, that sees everything as knowledgeable, vital and interconnected, might mean for the way academics do research. We discuss a methodology of attending underpinned by a relational ethics of care. Here, care stems from an awareness of our essential co-constitution as we care for, and are cared for by, the myriad human and more-than-human becomings that emerge together to create Bawaka. We propose that practising relational research requires researchers to open themselves up to the reality of their connections with the world, and consider what it means to live as part of the world, rather than distinct from it. We end with a call to go beyond ¿human¿ geography to embrace a more-than-human geography, a geography of co-becoming.

Seeing the utan from the orang: Orang utan-human relationships and the political ecologies of orang utan conservation in Sarawalk, Malaysian Borneo This thesis is a cross-disciplinary study examining through the combined lenses of Indigenous Iban ontologies, epistemologies and legal orders, Indigenous decolonial scholarship and the political ecologies of conservation, how Indigenous Iban communities continue to use and conserve their forest resources in changing landscapes. Therefore this research seeks to explore and understand the multiple strategies that Indigenous Iban communities employ, articulate and mobilise to uphold their rights over traditional domains. In particular, this study demonstrates the agency of Indigenous Iban communities through subtle resistance or refusal, contra-remembering and other methods, and uncovers new possible pathways that contribute to conservation, over prevailing dominant narratives that mostly assume a linear pathway to conserve forest and non-human species. |
