Associate Professor of Political Science, Charles Sturt University

Dominic worked at the University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand before coming to Charles Sturt in 2008.

Dominic did his PhD in political science at Waikato which was published as Faith, Politics and Reconciliation: Catholicism and the Politics of Indigeneity (Huia Publishers and the Australian Theological Forum) in 2005. Also, in 2005, he was co-editor with Cynthia Piper, of an academic history of the Catholic Diocese of Hamilton, New Zealand Turanga Ngatahi: Standing Together: The Catholic Diocese of Hamilton 1840-2005 (Dunmore Publishing).

In 2007 Dominic published Beyond Biculturalism: the politics of an indigenous minority (Huia Publishers), which is a theoretical exposition of underlying themes in Maori public policy. In 2010, Scaling-up Education Reform: addressing the politics of disparity ( NZCER Press), was written with Russell Bishop and Mere Berryman to propose a model for sustainaible and replicable school reform.

Dominic's fourth book Indigenous health: power, politics and citizenship was published by Australian Scholarly Publishing in 2015. The book examines contemporary Indigenous Australian health policy as a site of contest over the nature of Indigenous citizenship and 'belonging' to the modern state. The book uses Western and Indigenous political theories to examine politics and public policy as determinants of health and to show the ways in which policy failure is partially explained by dysfunctional political relationships, policy inertia and the political system itself. The book considers the claims that Indigenous people can reasonably make on the public health system and examines what these claims mean for contemporary Australian conceptions of citizenship, democracy, and human rights.

A recording of a public lecture to launch the book, at Charles Sturt University, on 18 August 2015, can be found at:

In 2017 Policy Press published Dominic's fifth authored book Indigeneity: a politics of potential - Australia, Fiji and New Zealand​. The book assesses the ways in which indigenous and liberal political theories interact to consider the practical policy implications of the indigenous right to self-determination. A blog piece introducing the book can be found at: https://policypress.wordpress.com/

The publisher's description of the book says: 'Providing opportunities for indigenous peoples to pursue culturally framed understandings of liberal democratic citizenship, the author reveals indigeneity’s concern for political relationships, agendas, and ideas beyond the ethnic minority claim to liberal recognition. The implications for national reconciliation, liberal democracy, citizenship and historical constraints on political authority are explored. The book also shows that indigeneity’s local geo-political focus, underpinned by global theoretical developments in law and politics, make indigeneity a movement of forward looking transformational politics.

This innovative, theoretically sophisticated and vibrant work will influence policy and scholarly debates on the politics of indigeneity and indigenous rights and will be of broad international interest to a transcultural, transnational and global phenomenon.
