 Jo-Anne
Weinman is a Research Associate at the National Centre
for Indigenous Studies.
Before taking up her position
at the NCIS, Jo-Anne was a visiting scholar at the Australian
Centre for Indigenous History in the Research School of Social
Sciences (Australian National University) where she worked as
a research assistant for the Director, Professor Ann McGrath,
while continuing research on her doctoral thesis. Jo-Anne completed
a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws at Monash University.
Her PhD, supported by an Australian
Postgraduate Award, examines constructions of indigeneity in
native title jurisprudence in Australia and Norway. Her Honours
thesis, entitled Deconstructing the Politics of Exclusion,
analysed the relevance of the 'excludability' element in classifying
interests as proprietary and involved the application of critical
legal studies and discourse analysis theories to judgments
in common law jurisdictions.
Jo-Anne's research interests
lie primarily in native title and other indigenous rights to
land, waters and resources in Australia and internationally,
in particular in relation to Australian Indigenous peoples and
the Sami of Northern Europe. She has a special interest in international
human rights law and constitutional law. Her interests also
include the reconciliation process, Indigenous self-determination,
self-governance models and measures, and the limits and contradictions
of sovereignty.
