Biography
Bryan is a Senior Lecturer in Humanities and Social Sciences education at James Cook University. My work looks at anti-racist and decolonising readings of humanities and social sciences education. Specifically, his work critically interrogates place, colonial and racialised logics in curriculum practice, and the convergence of history, geography, and citizenship education in re-imagining local places. His current line of work looks at the making of white settler place and how everyday features of the urban landscape writes settler possession into the material and symbolic spaces of communities.
