Jo is an interdisciplinary artist and Postdoctoral research fellow at Edith Cowan University and her work is grounded in a twenty-year practice of improvisation across multiple performed, choreographic and publishing platforms.  She is co-founder of creative arts publication BIG Kids Magazine and the ECU based feminist research collective The Ediths. As artist-researcher with #FEAS -Feminist Educators Against Sexism, and core member of ECU’s Centre for People, Place, and Planet, her work attends to gender inequity and climate justice through embodied and creative modes that begin with 'thinking like a dancer' to unsettle and redress dominant colonial and heteropatriachal knowledge paradigms.
