Profile Articles Activity

I studied history at the University of Melbourne, graduating with first class honours in 2003. My honours work concerned the legacy of the British atomic testing program in the northern desert region of South Australia.

When I later returned to university to undertake a PhD in anthropology at the University of Sydney, I was drawn back to South Australia-this time working on the Far West Coast inquiring into the relationship between environmentalists and First Nations people.

This research evolved into the edited collection, Unstable Relations: Indigenous People and Environmentalism in Contemporary Australia (co-edited with Tim Neale, published by UWAP, 2016).

While living on the Far West Coast, my attention was also directed to another issue: the ways in which involvement in native title claims can sometimes stimulate conflict and impact everyday social relations within Indigenous communities. This research culminated in the monograph, 'Against Native Title': Conflict and Creativity in Outback Australia (Aboriginal Studies Press, 2017).

I have also undertaken research into everyday relations across class and ethnicised difference in school communities in inner Sydney. This research was published in Emotion, Space and Society, Journal of Intercultural Studies, and Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies.

I have conducted research about everyday experiences of the Australia welfare state in transition, as the welfare system becomes ever more disciplining. My two case studies for this project were the first cashless debit card trial, in Ceduna, South Australia, and ParentsNext, an intensive support program for (mostly) mothers on parenting payments. This research resulted in Who Cares? Life on Welfare in Australia (MUP, 2023).

My recent book is Love Across Class (MUP, 2024), which was co-authored with Rose Butler (Deakin). This research involved interviewing people who have partnered across class difference.
