Senior Lecturer in the School of Media, Creative Arts and Social Inquiry, Curtin University

Researching confluences of discourses, spaces and media practices on the eastern rim of the Indian Ocean, my work has been published in a wide range of academic journals. Books include To the Beach: Community Conservation and its Role in 'Sustainable Development' (2015) and - with Shaphan Cox - Setting up the Nyoongar Tent Embassy: A Report on Perth Media (2013). I was lead editor for Urban Studies: Border and Mobility (2019) and Indian Ocean Futures: Communities, Sustainability and Security (2016), and a guest editor for Coolabah journal’s Reimagining Australia editions (2018).

Before entering academia, I led a successful media startup in Southeast Asia after working as a journalist and editor in The Hague and Jakarta.
