New Advisory Board Members: Anne Poelina and Glenn Woods

Welcome Anne y Glenn (Español)

Anne Poelina is Managing Director of Madjulla Inc, an Indigenous community organization that offers consultation in cultural education, research, training and evaluation.

She holds a PhD in Indigenous Mental Health, as well as Masters degrees in Indigenous Social Policy, Education and Public Health and Tropical Medicine, and is currently pursuing her post-doctoral degree with Gaia University.

Poelina is deeply involved in the struggle for Indigenous rights in Australia. Her main projects at the moment are the development of sustainable, holistic models of Indigenous management and models for integrated land and water management.

Glenn Woods has been school head at the Gnibi College of Indigenous Australian Peoples at Southern Cross University in Lismore, Australia since 2005.

Woods has a background in conservation technology as well as bushland regeneration and education, and has spent many years as an educator dedicated to social justice, earth care and Indigenous rights within his native Australia.

Woods is currently in training to become a ‘home sustainability assessor,’ which is an energy conservation expert that advises homeowners on how to lessen their environmental impact.

Gaia University is proud to welcome both Dr. Anne Poelina and Glenn Woods to our advisory board.
