I am originally from Aotearoa New Zealand. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts (Sculpture), Bachelor of Arts (Philosophy and Literary Studies) and Bachelor of Arts Honours (American Studies) at Canterbury University, before writing by doctoral thesis at Monash in the Centre for Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature on Law, cultural difference and Indigenous cultural politics in Aotearoa and Australia. I currently teach in the areas of legal issues, native title and, more generally, cultural and postcolonial theory. My current research further develops these concerns and focuses on the relationship between representations of Indigenous property and identity and their implications for debates concerning the protection of Indigenous intellectual and cultural property, land claims and the legal and political representation of indigeneity in general. I also have research interests in intersections between Indigenous issues and postcolonial theory, cultural studies, critical theory and post-structuralism, critical legal studies, theories of multiculturalism, rights discourse, justice and reconciliation.
