个人简介
Associate Professor Lisa Palmer is a human geographer who teaches and researches on human-environment relations and indigenous approaches to environmental and social governance. Her research takes a critical ecological approach and is focused on south-east Asia (particularly Timor Leste) and Indigenous Australia.
She is currently working on two ARC funded research projects.
One on customary governance in post-conflict Timor-Leste and the other on the localised social and cultural benefits (and disbenefits) of emerging carbon and water markets in Australia and Timor-Leste.
Her doctoral research examined ideas and practices of 'nature' and 'place' in the making of Kakadu National Park, while her post-doctoral work with Prof Marcia Langton and others investigated new approaches to treaty and agreement making between Indigenous peoples and others in Australia and other settler states. In recent years she has concentrated her field research in Timor Leste examining the intersection of custom and modernity in the diverse governance approaches of this new nation state. She has published widely in geography, anthropology and multi-disciplinary journals and is the co-editor of two books (Settling with Indigenous Peoples (Federation Press, 2006) and Honour Among Nations? (MUP 2004)).
Her 2015 book, Water Politics and Spiritual Ecology: Custom, environmental governance and development (Routledge Explorations in Environmental Studies), is the culmination of a decade of ethnographic research in Timor Leste. It addresses a critical need for a sustained geographical and anthropological inquiry into the social issues of water governance. Exploring the ritual ecological practices, contexts and scales through which use, negotiation over and sharing of water occurs at the local level, the book shows the complex functioning and social, cultural, economic and environmental interdependencies of hydrological societies. It examines the difficulties local communities face in having their rights recognised and their efforts to maintain and assert control of their waterscapes in the face of rapidly changing water governance institutions.
In 2019, in collaboration with Balthasar Kehi and Timor's Lookeu community, she made the film, Wild Honey: Caring for bees in a divided land (Ronin Films, 2019). A second film Holding Tightly: Custom and Healing in Timor-Leste (Ronin Films, 2021) is co-directed with Susanna Barnes. Information about these films can be accessed at https://arkivukulturaekolojia.com/waimata-films
In 2021, Palmer published the monograph Island Encounters: Timor-Leste from the outside in (ANU Press, 2021) to share her insights from two decades of experience with the country. With an eye to the country’s complex history and politics, Island Encounters reveals the strong cultural underpinnings of the Timorese people’s determination to maintain their relationships between their lands, waters, traditions and each other.
Together with a group of Timorese and non-Timorese researchers she has developed an online digital oral history archive 'Cultural Ecology of Timor-Leste Digital Archive (www.arkivukulturaekolojia.com).
Lisa teaches at the undergraduate and postgraduate level: GEOG30026/90025 East Timor Field Class, GEOG20012 Post-conflict Development and Difference and GEOG90021 Conservation and Cultural Environments.
