‘Uncanny encounters and haunting colonial histories in Australia’s reconciliation-era narratives’
Settler literature is haunted by the colonial past.

Settler authors typically use these literary devices in moments of social and political upheaval that disturb the foundational myths of settler belonging. Australia's Reconciliation agenda brought realities of colon…

Who Lies Buried in Satanta's Tomb? Co-memorating a Kiowa Warrior
The Kiowa leader Satanta gained a reputation in the 1860s and 1870s as the most reviled Native figure on the western plains—public enemy number one to post–Civil War generals like William Tecumseh Sherman and Philip Sheridan, who viewed the very existence of Native people as an expendable impediment to white expansion. Satanta's incarceration at the Huntsville penitentiary in Texas was considered an innovative approach to America's ongoing "India…

As a colonizer descendant, Santiago interprets power derived from property ownership and generations of lived exp…
Capturing Critical Institutionalism
Asr Forum
This article furthers our understanding of how state and citizens interact to produce local institutions and examines the effects of these processes. It brings critical institutional theory into engagement with ideas about everyday governance to analyze how hybrid arrangements are formed through bricolage. Such a perspective helps us to understand governance arrangements as both negotiated and structured, benefiting some and disadvantaging others…
Water governance and poverty
This paper engages with policy on meeting development goals for water through interventions, which promote good governance. Addressing an under-researched area, we propose a new analytical framework for understanding water governance, not as a set of abstract principles, but as interlinked processes with variable practical outcomes for poor people. The framework is informed by theories of governance, institutions and structuration, empirical rese…
