About me
Carly is a white settler, living and working in the region known by Kaurna as Ngangkiparingga. With an academic background in Aboriginal Studies through degrees awarded by the University of South Australia, they teach into a range of subjects, helping students to understand whiteness as a system and its ongoing and enduring impacts as a colonial legacy on the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Informed by critical whiteness theory in their research, they are currently completing a PhD that examines the whiteness of the Closing the Gap strategy and the ways that racism is reinforced as an institutional foundation of this place. Carly’s training in oral history guides their methodological approach to research and teaching, in which building relationships and centring First Nations voices and knowledges is prioritised.
