Carol Farbotko

Carol Farbotko is a cultural geographer who conducts research on Pacific places, mobilities and cultures in a changing climate. She is currently Australian Research Council Future Fellow at the Griffith Centre for Social and Cultural Research, leading a four-year project on Indigenous Solutions to Global Challenges in the Pacific. Prior to joining Griffith University, she worked at the Australian government’s research organisation, CSIRO, and completed her PhD at the University of Tasmania. Carol’s research focuses on climate mobilities and immobilities as an empirical phenomenon, and as political and policy discourse. She undertakes co-production of knowledge with Pacific communities based in Indigenous knowledge systems and cultural protocols, together with critical discourse analysis of climate mobility in knowledge, the media, and governance, at local, national, regional and international scales.
