Bradley Moggridge

I am a proud Murri from the Kamilaroi Nation (North-West NSW), and I grew up in Western Sydney and now live in Canberra. I have been a member of SETAC for many years and still co-chair of the Indigenous Knowledge and Values Interest Group. I have walked two worlds (Traditional Knowledge and Science) for the last 25years and often alone, I have qualifications - Masters of Science (Hydrogeology) from UTS and Bachelor of Science (Environmental Science) from ACU plus access to 65,000 years of knowledge. I am currently a Associate Professor and PhD Candidate at the University of Canberra and was part-time Indigenous Engagement Officer for Threatened Species Recovery Hub as a part of NESP. I was previously employed by NSW DPI Water as the Team Leader Aboriginal Water Initiative (AWI), and was honored to lead the only dedicated Aboriginal water unit in Australia for nearly 5 year. I have also been employed by CSIRO, NSW EPA and in consulting. I have an ambition of leading in my area of expertise and also promoting Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge (culturally appropriately) and finding commonalities between Traditional Science and Western Science so this can influence policy and the way we manage the Australian landscape especially water.
