My PhD research is exploring how Indigenous women’s knowledge can shape sustainable water management in Tasmanian agriculture. My research highlights the importance of cultural perspectives, community voices, and traditional ecological knowledge in addressing water challenges. By creating space for Indigenous leadership and collaboration, I aim to support more inclusive, resilient, and culturally grounded water practices. My work bridges science, policy, and Indigenous rights—centering voices that have long been underrepresented in environmental decision-making.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
