In 2019 Jared was awarded a Churchill Fellowship to investigate colonised people's interpretative strategies in permanent gallery displays in museums and galleries in Aotearoa, Canada, Norway and the United States. Jared will resume research within these countries in 2022. As Research Fellow, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Material Culture and Art, Jared's research is primarily concerned with interventions that shift spaces from being ethnographic, to colonised people being at the centre of interpretation of self. 

Under this theme, are a raft of focus areas including Aboriginal people and knowledge systems, technologies, sea and land management, medicine and food, and Jared is s participant in several ARC linkage and discovery projects related to these areas. 

As an author, Jared's works of theatre and fiction explore issues relating to Aboriginal marginalisation and resistance, the environment, gender and sexuality. He is also concerned with research relating to the development of texts that underpin Aboriginal literacy development.
