Career Summary
Biography
Anglo-Celtic settler living and working on the unceded lands of the First Peoples of the Central Coast region of NSW. PhD candidate whose research examines state-sanctioned violence and the reproduction of racialised hierarchies which exist to disrupt the capabilities of First Peoples and advance settler-colonial territorialisation.
I use critical theories to explicate how the triangulate of colonialism, capitalism and carcerality must be dismantled to make way for the rebuilding of more sustainable and just futures based in First Laws and Indigenous ways of knowing and being.
