Elizabeth Grant

Elizabeth Grant (1963-2022) was an Australian architectural anthropologist, criminologist and academic who worked in the field of Indigenous architecture. Rather than forensic work, her research concentrated on architecture and design with Indigenous peoples as both architectural practice and a social movement, and on the observance of human rights in institutional architecture, particularly reforms to prison, custodial and court architecture. She held academic positions at RMIT University, the University of Adelaide, the University of Canberra and the University of Queensland, and as a Churchill Fellow she investigated correctional facility design for Indigenous prisoners internationally; that research led to new standards and guidelines for custodial environments for Indigenous prisoners and was recognized by the International Corrections and Prisons Association in 2015. She co-edited The Handbook of Contemporary Indigenous Architecture, published by Springer.
