Biography

Kirsten Anker teaches property, legal theory and Aboriginal law/Indigenous legal traditions, with research interests extending also to evidence,聽dispute resolution, resource management and聽legal education. Her book Declarations of Interdependence: A Legal Pluralist Approach to Indigenous聽Rights聽explores various aspects of claiming Native (Aboriginal) Title as a way to inspire a re-imagination of law.聽 She has written widely on the challenge to orthodox understandings of law and sovereignty posed by the recognition in Australia and Canada that Indigenous law 鈥渋ntersects鈥� or co-exists with state law, and draws on studies in legal theory, anthropology, Indigenous and occidental philosophy, translation and language.聽 Current projects include work on Indigenous legal traditions in formal legal education, non-static digital mapping in land claims, the privatisation of Indigenous consultation, and ecological jurisprudence.
