  I acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the unceded lands on which my academic work is carried out – in particular the Wurundjeri, Bunurong and Wadawurrung people. I recognise their and other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' continuing connection to land, waters and culture, and pay my respects to Elders past and present.
