Dr. Emma McNicol was delighted to organise the National Indigenous Disaster Resilience Summit alongside Bhiamie Williamson and Professor Briony Rogers on August 21st in Meanjin-Brisbane. The Summit was a unique opportunity to reflect on the unique ways Climate Crisis impacts Indigenous peoples and foster an Indigenous-led conversation on disaster resilience. Emma is a feminist philosopher and expert on Simone de Beauvoir. Her research lies at the nexus of race, culture and gender theory, examining themes of exclusion and intersectionality in historical and contemporary feminist theory. Emma considers it a privilege that her work enables her to connect with and learn from Indigenous communities locally and globally.
