My current passion is the study of arts-based activism in the age of the Anthropocene, particularly in relation to climate change and environmental justice. Over the last three decades, my research has spanned artistic works and practices drawn from diverse parts of the world, with special emphasis on contemporary theatre in Australasia, Canada and Aotearoa New Zealand. Thematically, I concentrate on issues relating to human-environment interactions, race and representation, indigeneity, globalization, democracy, diplomacy and the politics and aesthetics of cross-cultural engagement. Theoretically, my work attempts to extend postcolonial and ecocritical analytical models to better account for performative praxis.</p> <p>I am currently completing a monograph that explores transnational aspects of Indigenous performance, paying special attention to environmental justice, belonging, commodity culture, heritage and reconciliation. A new project on local and global initiatives in arts-based eco-activism is in development. My most recent book is <em><a href="https://thecpr.org.uk/product/marrugeku-telling-that-story/">Marrugeku: Telling That Story</a> </em>(co-edited with Dalisa Pigram and Rachael Swain, 2021).</p> <p>From 2009–14, I led a transnational European Research Council-funded project on indigenous performance across the Americas, the Pacific, Australia and South Africa. A major performance-based exhibition, <em>EcoCentrix: Indigenous Arts, Sustainable Acts</em> (2013), emerged from this interdisciplinary work, along with several edited volumes, including <em><a href="https://ilas.sas.ac.uk/publications/open-access-house-publications/recasting-commodity-and-spectacle-indigenous-americas">Recasting Commodity and Spectacle in the Indigenous Americas</a></em> (2014) and <em><a href="http://www.oapen.org/search?identifier=636305">In the Balance: Indigeneity, Performance, Globalization</a> </em>(2017). The exhibition brought images, objects, sounds, performances and live art installations by over 40 international artists to London and was shortlisted for a UK national engagement award. </p> <p>My earlier books include <em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Post-Colonial-Drama-Theory-Practice-Politics/dp/0415090245">Post-colonial Drama: Theory, Practice, Politics </a></em>(co-authored with Joanne Tompkins, 1996) and two award-winning monographs: <em><a href="https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9780230003408">Performance and Cosmopolitics: Cross Cultural Transactions in Australasia</a></em> (co-authored with Jacqueline Lo, 2007), and <em><a href="https://www.press.umich.edu/23582/sightlines">Sightlines: Race, Gender and Nation in Contemporary Australian Theatre</a> </em>(1998). I have also published in animal studies, among other eclectic topics. With Helen Tiffin and Robert Cribb, I wrote <em><a href="https://www.uhpress.hawaii.edu/title/wild-man-from-borneo-a-cultural-history-of-the-orangutan/">Wild Man from Borneo: A Cultural History of the Orangutan </a></em>(2014), which studies the species boundary between humans and orangutans as imagined by scientists, philosophers, artists and the public at large over the past three centuries. In 2015, I was awarded a Humboldt Prize for career achievements in international and interdisciplinary arts research. </p> <p> </p></div></div> <div class="sdg-content-wrap "> <h3 class="subheader">Expertise related to UN Sustainable Development Goals</h3> <p class="sdg-text">In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global <a href="https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/sustainable-development-goals/" target="_blank">Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)</a> to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all.
