Thalia Anthony

Professor Thalia Anthony’s research examines the role of criminal laws and procedures in reproducing social relations and enforcing dispossession. She also has expertise in relation to First Nations Stolen Wages claims, legal redress for the Stolen Generations, the harms of carceral systems, and coercive controls of First Nations homelands, housing and mobility. Grounded in a critical examination of legal institutions; emancipatory fieldwork with First Nations people, organisations and communities; legal history and theory; and activist struggles, Professor Anthony’s research identifies law enforcement as a key device in the colonial project in Australia and overseas and explores sites of resistance.
