- PublicationApma BookletsSchneider has compiled three resource booklets on local birds, plants, and fish for the Apma-speaking community. The booklets contain drawings, accompanied by word-level descriptions. The drawings were sourced from the Vanuatu Cultural Centre in Port Vila. The words accompanying each drawing, and decisions about appropriate spellings for each word, are based on Schneider's ongoing research on the Apma language. To produce these books, research into Apma's morphology (word structure) and phonology (sound system) was particularly necessary.
- PublicationApma ResourcesSchneider has created three resources for elementary school children to facilitate their acquisition of literacy in the Apma language: an alphabet book, an alphabet poster, and a poster about Apma's vowel and consonant combinations. Both book and poster present each letter of the Apma alphabet one by one, with an accompanying photograph or drawing, and a word beginning with the sound represented by each letter. The book also includes translations into Bislama (Vanuatu's lingua franca). The vowel and consonant poster presents the possible combinations of these sounds. These resources are based on Schneider's ongoing work on the Apma language. To produce them, research into Apma's phonology (sound system) and phonotactic structure (possible combinations of sounds) was particularly necessary.

Immersed in the Western Australian context, I wrote poetry about the endemic flora of the state. These six poems narrate the aesthetic features of plants and their diverse narratives, including my own experiential response. The portfolio weaves together multiple ways of knowing the natural world and points to the possibility of creative synergy between knowledge forms.
- PublicationPoetry, Landscape, MemoryThis portfolio of ten poems contributes to the areas of ecocriticism, nature writing and memory studies. Informed by cultural and ecopoetic theories, I applied creative, practice-led principles, including the use of sensory data and the keeping of a field journal, to the investigation of topographical memory in Australia and elsewhere.
- PublicationThe Walking PoemsThis portfolio contributes to a growing body of research into walking and creativity. The six poems explore walking as an approach to place-attunement. Following the work of other perambulatory artists, I composed poetry about Western Australian landscapes perceived corporeally through walking. The poems express sensorial responses and, in particular, capture the nuances of my encounters with flora.
