I am a Senior Research Fellow with the College of Indigenous Futures, Education and Arts, at Charles Darwin University. I am experienced in the nature and challenge of independent academic research,  and in collaborative use of the tools of education, research and evaluation. I am interested in practices and studies that give voice to, and inform social, educational, sovereign and economic participation. Based in Alice Springs I am passionate about matters that effect the region and peoples of central and more widely regional Australia, and in configuring the networks that enable equity for these and similar international societies and settings. Student supervision and research both provide avenues for increased participation through learning and practice. 

My primary research interest is in the intra cultural capabilities of engaging with with customary and contemporary knowledges in ethical and a-modern collaborations. I am immersed in the ecologies of place and the reslience that emerges with mindfull and inclusive approaches to learning and innovation.
