Biography
Scott Heyes is a lecturer in landscape architecture in the Melbourne School of Design. He holds a PhD in Geography from McGill University, Montreal and is currently the 2010 Roberta Bondar Postdoctoral Fellow at the Frost Centre for Canadian Studies and Indigenous Studies at Trent University, Canada. He completed a Master of Landscape Architecture by Research Degree at the University of Adelaide and the University of Montreal and holds a Bachelors Degree in Landscape Architecture from the University of Adelaide.
His research and teaching explores Indigenous ways of knowing and seeing landscapes and aquatic environments. His current research projects involve looking at ways in which Indigenous peoples in Australia and Canada have been involved in the design, planning and implementation of protected areas and national parks. He also has a deep interest in Indigenous senses of place, spatial concepts, nomenclature, and traditional knowledge.
Scott regularly travels to the field to conduct research, particularly in remote regions of Australia and Canada, including the Arctic. He has presented at several conferences and institutions in Australia and abroad on his research with Indigenous communities and fieldwork methodologies.
