Rate My Professor Monica Minnegal

In long-term collaboration with Peter D. Dwyer, Monica Minnegal has authored key publications including the book Navigating the Future: An Ethnography of Change in Papua New Guinea (2017), which examines transformations among Kubo communities. Other significant works include Hunting in lowland, tropical rain forest: Towards a model of non-agricultural subsistence (1991), Deep identity, shallow time: sustaining a future in Victorian fishing communities (2003), Theorizing social change (2010), Managing risk, resisting management: Stability and diversity in a southern Australian fishing fleet (2008), The time is right: Waiting, reciprocity and sociality (2009), and more recent articles such as A Road, a Border, and Development in New Guinea (2023) and Imagining the city in remote Papua New Guinea (2024). Her research projects, including economic, political, and cultural brokers in remote Papua New Guinea, have advanced understanding in anthropology and socio-ecology. Minnegal has engaged broader audiences through contributions like the University of Melbourne podcast Seeing like an anthropologist.
