School of Science

I am a current PhD student in Cultural Geography at ÁñÁ«¹ÙÍø Canberra interested in how the arts can generate politically and ethically significant change in individual thinking and wider world processes.

In my current project I am developing my conceptualisations of the 'opacitic' and 'influensive' through ongoing auto-ethnigrpahic fieldwork and theorising through the philosophical projects of Édouard Glissant, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari.

My research is especially interested in: non-representational theories, process philosophies, feminist and postcolonial theory. 

I attend the ÁñÁ«¹ÙÍø Canberra Cultural Geography Weekly Reading Group and the Latrobe University 3ecologies Weekly Reading Group.
