    Biography

    Dylan is a Kokatha (Gugatha) Aboriginal/Greek woman from the far west coast of South Australia. She is a Lecturer in Yaitya Purruna Indigenous Health Unit, Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, at the University of Adelaide. In 2011, Dylan completed her doctorate at the University of Adelaide's English Department.  It explores Indigenous narrative process and its capacity to recreate stories of trauma and loss into ones of survival and liberation.  In 2011, the creative component of Dylan's PhD,  Mazin Grace, won the Arts Queensland David Unaipon Award for Unpublished Indigenous Manuscript, as part of the Queensland Premiers Literary Awards. In 2012 Mazin Grace was published and in 2013 was longlisted for the Stella Prize, and shortlisted for the Commonwealth Book Prize.  Her experience is in community engagement within various Indigenous communities throughout Australia, and in South Australia in the area of public health, with a focus on substance misuse and building community capacity and resilience through community controlled approaches to health. Dylan supports community storytelling through a narrative storyboard tool.  In this way, community identify their own priority areas linking with collaborative and co-ordinated multi-service delivery approaches. Dylan also has a keen interest in Aboriginal Sovereignty and community pathways to self-government and a Treaty.
