A day of being a support person for very beautiful colleagues at meetings where 'excess' or 'downsized' decisions are confirmed. WBY's '...for peace comes dropping slow...' is a soothing reminder to breath. Sending glimmers, glows, & lake water lapping to anyone needing it.

This is the human cost of bipartisan policy choices on universities - the needless destruction of the careers and lives of those who helped to build one of our most important nation-building institutions:

Check out this recent book review by James Keating on 'Of Love and War: Pacific Brides of World War II' by Angela Wanhalla (University of Nebraska Press, 2023): doi.org/10.1080/030865…

This is not comedy, it’s moronic rubbish from the 19th century. The sort of misogynistic rubbish that women are subjected to in all forms of culture, and certainly in sport. This is a team that plays at the highest levels of professional sport for the world’s top clubs.

Hot off the press! See our latest article by Vincent Ho & Novem Tsz-Wing Ho on 'An Exhausted Colonial Botanist: Charles Ford and Hong Kong Botanical Gardens, 1871–1902', accessible freely here: doi.org/10.1080/030865…

No, the Jewish community is more than the ethno-nationalist settlers and Netanyahu acolytes and the awful Australian Israeli lobby who booed Mark Dreyfus in a Sydney synagogue. Bravo to the 500 Jewish-Australians who condemn the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians

The AHA Executive Committee has issued a statement in response to the proposed definition of antisemitism put forward by Universities Australia. Read the full statement here: buff.ly/43ly3d8

Wonderful to see this from the AHA (Australia). I hope to see similar from other academic organisations/institutions. This definition, and the anti-Palestinian repression it’s part of, is unacceptable and must be opposed at every step.

This is a ridiculous and damaging move from the ARC which should cause all academics here and abroad substantial concern. afr.com/policy/health-…

An appalling precedent.

For those of us teaching empire, colonialism, its legacies, in the classroom, & for those unfamiliar with Edward Said's peeling back of what ideologies are & how they work, this thread is excellent. Aust VCs would do well to read this.

The articles in the upcoming issue of 'Lilith' range from African pottery, theology, poetry and Black women’s joy, Paris trans identity and cabaret theatre, First World Wartime cross-dressing and and working girls’ clubs in Chicago. Register today doi.org/10.22459/LFHJ.…

On the eve of #IWD2025, we showcase films of our authors in @Sociale_History talking about suffrage memory. Visit our StoryMap created by the awesome Dr Lauren Samuelsson | @clemloz.bsky.social on our ARC DP website ~ Ana Stevenson @dranastevenson.bsky.social, Hannah & Andrea Witcomb ~ archivingsocialmovements.com/sites-of-femin…

It was a pleasure to speak with so many wonderful historians about their work in Histoire Sociale - I think you’ll love hearing what they have to say! #IWD2025

A vibrant interview on a vibrant article - urging fans of suffrage history to listen 'n watch the fab James Keating

This side of #IWD2025 & while still in Women's History Month, feel free to listen in as our authors talk about remembering, misremembering & innovative/new ways of remembering suffrage pasts.

I am so proud of this. To my amazing colleagues who nominated me, thank you. Life imitating research & vice versa. *Maybe fittingly (but also weirdly), on day of ceremony for UOW inaugural IWD awards, I was in Bondi speaking to Stan. + media ppl on Oz pub & bikini bans!
