Avowal
Avowal is a gestural, arcing commentary that reifies Country and the impost of colonisation on all, human and more-than-human. Mediated around the key theme of persistence, disparate 'scenes' are book-ended with the voices of Creators who finally lament the destructive impact of various violences, and beseech the validation of their Knowing. Urgent and disruptive, this ironic piece hearkens the urgency of its own repatriation.

engResearch statement
This piece was by invitation by one of the foundational editors of Cultural Studies Review (CSR) for the final edition of the journal, A/Professor Katrina Schlunke (katrina.schlunke@utas.edu.au). The field of research is the nexus of Cultural Studies, New Materisliam and Fictocritical writing, and I am the only Indigenous researcher in Australia researching and practicing in this field. The invitation was made to previous contributor on the basis of excellence in the field, and the evidence is invitation, that in the view of the Editorial body reflected the bring together a very wide range of thinking and writing on a very wide range of topics that pertain in the shape of their writing or theme to the broadest interests of the journal and the field of cultural studies. In this way we intend to create a sense of the breadth and vitality of cultural studies and of the interests and styles of scholarly work that will persist beyond the publication of the journal itself'. My invitation was to add to my impact in the field of Cultural Studies, as I am 'one of our very few authors to have an entire edition named after them!! (Don’t forget to claim that in promotion documents re impact in the field!)' (Schlunke). The contribution to the research and the field is in Indigenous New Materialism and Indigenous Fictocriticsim, and the innovative and novel manner this work mobilises.Publication classification
