Written Thesis (PDF)
The written thesis forms one component of this practice-based doctoral research and should be read in dialogue with the ethnographic videos presented on this site. While the videos foreground listening, duration, and participant-led testimony, the thesis provides the historical, theoretical, and methodological analysis that frames the research as a whole.
Together, the written and audiovisual components constitute a single, integrated argument.
The thesis is organised across six chapters, moving from historical and political context, through theory and methodology, to ethnographic analysis and concluding reflections on Indigenous futures, cultural justice, and recognition.
