If anyone is still on this platform, just thought I'd let you know about something I just got published in @HistAustJournal @AustHistAssoc from our annual conference in July. A respectable version of the keynote. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

Very humbled to read forum article by @MichelleArrow1 and stumble across a reference to my 'powerful keynote' at the @AustHistAssoc conference in July. Thank you. Your recommendations on what we historians could do are, in turn, very thought provoking.

It was such a pleasure to interview Mavis Kerinaiua and Laura Rademaker about 'Tiwi Story: Turning History Downside Up' for @NewBooksNetwork. We talked key Tiwi stories, book making as community process, football and so much more! @laurarads

Tiwi Story has been the hardest but most rewarding project I've ever been part of. Collaboration is hard! So thrilled for my Tiwi colleagues to see it shortlisted for the Ernest Scott, and alongside such brilliant historians! arts.unimelb.edu.au/scholars…

“The big Australian newspapers we looked at have failed to cover the Gaza conflict fairly, in terms of giving equal weight to the victims on each side, with the Nine papers not too bad, but The Australian failing in spectacular fashion.” #MediaWatch
My most recent article, in which counting Aboriginal people in the census post 1967 referendum gave rise to 'family planning' and population control policies (there were supposedly 'too many' Aboriginal babies) tandfonline.com/eprint/NXWGT…

#Latecomers on #sbs. Could it have worked with genders flipped? (ie. ablebodied woman and disabled man falling for each other, disabled woman going to sex-worker) Bridge too far?
