Emily Potter is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Communication and Creative Arts at Deakin University, Australia. Her academic work critically examines settler-colonial narratives of belonging through the lens of contemporary Australian literature and environmental crisis. Dr. Potter's research focuses on how non-indigenous Australians negotiate belonging in postcolonial contexts, particularly examining how literary texts respond to environmental challenges while grappling with Indigenous dispossession. Her work proposes that recognizing unsettled and uncertain forms of belonging may create productive pathways for decolonizing relationships with place during global ecological crises. Key publications analyze works by authors like Thea Astley and Chloe Hooper to trace evolving narratives about land, identity, and responsibility. Her monograph Writing Belonging at the Millennium (2019) has established her as a significant voice in Australian cultural studies, receiving praise for its 'forensic and generous' analysis of how storytelling helps 'recompose attachments' to land while acknowledging Indigenous custodianship. The book's interdisciplinary approach bridges literary criticism, environmental humanities, and postcolonial theory.
