Dr. Amanda Wells

Environmental historian working on Australian landscapes, place-based research, and more-than-human histories.
I work across research, higher education, and the cultural sector, exploring how people, environments, and ideas are shaped together over time.

I currently live and work on Ngadjuri land. I extend my respect and am grateful to the custodians of these beautiful and rich lands that I’ve been fortunate enough to live on and love. I acknowledge, of course, that lands and sovereignty have never been ceded.

More about me? See my CV.

My PhD research is an environmental and ethnographic history of a small place on the River Murray, Cooltong, in South Australia. This place is on the unceded land of the Erawirung people, and is now a place of horticulture and citriculture, part of the citrus-centric Riverland region.
