Naama Blatman
A Research Theme Fellow for the Urban Living Futures & Society Research Theme, and an Urban Studies Foundation postdoctoral research fellow (2020-2023). My research applies collaborative, archival, and ethnographic methods with Indigenous communities to probe the histories, realities, and desired futures of settler colonial cities in Australia and Israel/Palestine. My research focuses on questions of property, land, housing, carcerality and Indigenous rights in cities, which are all examined through a comparative lens. Specifically, I bring together the histories and contemporary realities of settler colonial urbanism to enquire about the possibilities of rewriting their futures away from colonial infra/structures. I am interested in settler colonial urbanisms as shaped by a convergence of highly localised processes and global dynamics.
