Lana Hartwig is an Adjunct Research Fellow at the Australian Rivers Institute at Griffith University, Queensland. Lana's research explores First Nations water access injustices in New South Wales and the Murray-Darling Basin, with a particular focus on participation in water markets and water trading. She is interested in if and how Australia’s neoliberal water governance frameworks contribute to broader Aboriginal claims for self-determination.
