Megan Kelleher is a PhD candidate and one of RMIT’s Vice Chancellor’s Indigenous Pre-Doctoral Fellows in the School of Media and Communication. The title of her thesis is ‘Blockchain Mapping and Indigenous Knowledge Systems: Observations at the interface between distributed consensus technology and Indigenous governance’. Megan is investigating how blockchain affects processes of governance and law, and whether blockchain technology can interface with an indigenous knowledge system – and conversely whether an indigenous knowledge system can be used to guide the coordination of processes within a blockchain system. Grounded in her Barada/Baradha and Gabalbara/Kapalbara heritage, the research will be approached from an Indigenous standpoint, contributing to the field from an important Australian research perspective.
