Katie Glaskin is an Associate Professor at the University of Western Australia. She has served as an editor of the journal Anthropological Forum since 2011, has been a member of the Academic Consultative Commiteee since 2016, and has acted as Chair or co-Chair of the Berndt Research Foundation since 2016. Her research areas include the anthropology of Indigenous Australia, dreams, personhood, creativity, property, and more recently, extinction(s). Katie’s work is characterised by both its cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary engagements, with publications spanning psychological anthropology, neuroanthropology, legal anthropology, environmental anthropology and the anthropology of art. She has published on dreams, sleep, creativity, personhood, death, memory, emotion, human-robot interactions, perception and aesthetics, property contests and transformations, native title, and law as social process. In 2015, she won the Curl Essay Prize (The Royal Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland). Katie studied fine art as a minor in her undergraduate degree and also practices as a painter and printmaker. She has held three solo exhibitions (2018, 2019 and 2021) and participated in numerous group exhibitions. Much of her artistic output deals with the same themes that inform her current research on extinction.
