Biography
Prior to beginning the PhD, I completed an MPhil in Social Anthropology at the University of Cambridge (2023) with the support of a Trinity College Research Studentship and graduated with a Bachelor of Philosophy in history from the Australian National University (2021). My research focuses on Indigenous Australian colonial-era museum collections in Britain and Europe and explores the histories, cross-cultural relationships, and potential for community reconnections embodied by material culture. My PhD, supported by a Cambridge Australia Fulton Scholarship, investigates the pastoral origins of collections in the UK and aims to build knowledge about Indigenous Australia’s material heritage located overseas.
