Dr Scott Webster is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Sydney Environment Institute at The University of Sydney. His current research investigates how communities self-organised during the 2019-20 bushfires and the 2020-22 floods in New South Wales, Australia. His broader research explores connection to place – especially at the intersection between home, memory, and ecological embodiment – and the forms of suffering and injustice caused when these connections are severed.
