Hello (this bit of the) world, I'm another newbie here!

I'm a legal geographer/political ecologist/gender, law and development nerd in the ANU College of Law at the Australian National University. I work on questions of gender, law and development, particularly in the Pacific. I understand #PacificStudies as meaning those scholarly traditions that are for, not simply about, Pacific people and places.

I have a book forthcoming on Gender, Property and Politics in the Pacific (http://tinyurl.com/32vbx268), focusing on gendered land relations in Solomon Islands and the diverse ways in which people engage with the law to enact a variety of futures. Pic below of the village of Buleani in Marovo Lagoon.

My new project looks at the way social movements engage with legal pluralities across the region. I'm looking forward to finding my way on this platform!

Beautiful and timely essay by Katerina Teaiwa on how Banaban Island was changed by phosphate mining beyond a tipping point for the benefit of industrial profits and detriment of the dispalced Banabans.

And Banaban is a microcosm of what happens on a planetary scale. As Teaiwa's elder sister Teresia noted, we must learn from Pacifuc Islanders how to 'island' (verb), i.e. live as if we lived on islands.
