I’m so pleased to share some book news at long last. It will be out in 2025 with Oxford Uni Press (Past & Present Series). I’m still pinching myself! Grateful to so many colleagues (you know who you are), the wonderful, anonymous peer reviewers, & the @AustHistAssoc for support.
Delighted and humbled to receive the Serle award for my PhD thesis amongst such wonderful peers! The book is in the making! ✍️ Thank you too @historyANU

Education Minister Jason Clare could get involved to return the ANU to this mission and create a model of university governance for the rest of the university sector 👏
After months of pressure, Australian National University vice-chancellor Genevieve Bell has resigned. This creates a unique opportunity for the federal government. @DrBenjaminJones @CQU

Disastrous for ANU, and for the distinct national role and impact of its School of History. Frank Bongiorno is part of a tradition that forms what it is and means to be a public-facing Historian right around the country. Frank built and formed that elusive thing we call culture.

So thrilled to have had this indexed by such a history 🌟 thanks too, @IntlAusStudies for supporting this 🙌
I've just finished indexing @AMcLarenHistory's completely fascinating 'Aboriginal-Colonial Exchanges in New South Wales, 1800-1835' - highly recommended! #indexing

It was great to present research on the surprising baptism of swathes of Aboriginal children by Catholics in early NSW @SLU_Official. A big shout out to my wonderful colleague @ShaunLBlanchard for the invitation and for such a well organised conference

Fab conference on something that seemed unlikely, but is now understandable thanks to the work of excellent scholars - a religious and even Catholic (&Irish!) Enlightenment
