Natalie Ironfield (she/her) is Dharug person with family connections to the Buruburongal and Warmuli Clans. Natalie is currently living on Wurundjeri Country and is a Research Fellow in the Centre of Excellence for Indigenous Futures at the University of Melbourne.
Natalie’s doctoral research examined the ways in which universities function as ongoing sites of racial colonial violence, with a particular focus on the discipline of criminology. Natalie’s research interests include the limitations and consequences of liberal reformism for Indigenous people, non-carceral community-led responses to harm and violence, and the role of community-led political education in shaping just futures on Aboriginal Land.
