Current Projects:
- Indigenous and queer art installation at Rozelle Campus (Sydney)
- Indigenous artwork to be included in Welcome Packs – Welcome booklets, pens, presentations, and other Welcome week projects to incorporate indigenous artwork and stories.
- Better acknowledgment of country in units and meetings – Many lectures do not acknowledge country even during Week 1 of classes. Meetings with the Academic will endeavour to change this.
