Dr Lauren Tynan

I am a Pairrebenne Trawlwoolway woman from Tebrakunna Country in northeast Trouwerner (Tasmania). I am a Scientia Research Fellow and Senior Lecturer in the UNSW School of Built Environment.

My research areas encompass human geography and Indigenous studies, developing original methodological approaches, and contending with ethics, climate change and land management issues. With an interest in Indigenous and decolonising methodologies, my research focuses on relationality with Country and climate change adaptation.

My research has influenced policy, academia, and higher education practice. It continues to bridge disciplinary boundaries, advance Indigenous-led methodologies, and reshape how Indigenous knowledges are integrated across both the social and natural sciences.

In 2026 I completed a First Nations Fellowship with the Australian Centre for Student Equity and Success (ACSES). This fellowship further developed the Kin and Country Framework (Bishop & Tynan, 2022) as a pedagogical tool for higher education teaching and learning.
