Jasmin is a P.h.D Candidate within the Discipline of Anthropology and Sociology at the University of Western Australia.
She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in both Anthropology and Political Science in 2013, and with First-Class Honours in Anthropology in 2014.
Her P.h.D research centres on Western Australia’s remote Aboriginal communities and the many recent policy decisions relating to them (including their potential closure, a possibility first raised by Premier Colin Barnett in 2014). The working title of her thesis is ‘The Remote Community Closure Debate’.
Jasmin’s Honours thesis investigated the circumstances surrounding the variation in the Discipline of Anthropology’s historical engagement with different Australian Indigenous groups.
Jasmin’s main research interest is Australian Indigenous affairs policy (both historical and contemporary).
In her spare time, Jasmin enjoys reading, travelling and spending time with her three cats.
