Systemic entrapment and First Nations People in Australia

Dr. Marlene Longbottom, Ngarruwan Ngadju First Peoples Health and Wellbeing Research Centre, University of Wollongong

Systemic Entrapment a research project that Marlene is currently leading. This work seeks to better understand the factors associated with health inequity, within First Nations People and communities. This work moves beyond the problematising of Indigeneity and focuses the lens on the social and health issues that continue to contain and condemn First Nations People in carceral systems. Unpacking racial profiling, as well as intersectional factors such as race, gender, class and disability, while also including how poverty is and can be criminalized, systemic entrapment is interdisciplinary while also understanding the overrepresentation of First Nations People in the carceral institutions.
