Jo-Anne Weinman – Research Associate
BA(Hons) / LLB (Monash University, Victoria)
Jo-Anne Weinman is a Research Associate at the National Centre for Indigenous Studies.
Before taking up her position at NCIS, Jo was a visiting scholar at the Australian Centre for Indigenous History in the Research School of Social Sciences (ANU) where she worked as a research assistant for Professor Ann McGrath (Director) while continuing work on her doctorate. The 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' aspect of proprietary interests, applying critical legal studies and discourse analysis theories.
Jo’s research interests lie primarily in native title and other Indigenous rights to land and waters in Australia and internationally, especially in relation to the Saami people of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. They also include the reconciliation process, Indigenous self-determination, self-governance models and measures, and the limits and contradictions of sovereignty. International law relating to Indigenous peoples, and constitutional law are other areas of interest. Email: Jo-Anne.Weinman@anu.edu.au
