Georgia is Lecturer in Anthropology. She received her PhD (ANU) for a thesis on Contemporary Ritual Practice in an Aboriginal Settlement: the Warlpiri Kurdiji ceremony (2010). Since 2005 she has undertaken research with Warlpiri people in Yuendumu and other Central Australian communities, including collaborative research projects with Pintupi Anmatyerr Warlpiri Media and Communications (based in Yuendumu). She is interested in assisting with community-developed documentation and audio/visual materials, not only to pass down the cultural knowledge embedded in them but also as a way to sustain these traditions into the future. She is also dedicated to community archiving projects and repatriation of cultural heritage materials to their communities of origin, as well as supporting activities to promote and maintain the vitality and transmission of songs and performances.
