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.

"In a world riven by cumulative crises, history offers tools of navigation, stories of resistance and hope, and precedents for what can seem like unprecedented times." From @MichelleArrow1

"As historians... our role lies in how we explicitly offer an approach that orients our students as citizens again, able to identify the artificiality of structures of power and confident to act in a world that presents the future as inevitable." @cap_and_gown

"Historians must carry their hard-earned (and sometimes counterintuitive) training into the analysis of their academic conditions, never allowing it to be overtaken by the self-justificatory language of bosses." From @kate

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.

Spotted some historians! But seriously, ANU is showing contempt for those who make it what it is.
Great footage from @abcnews of the @NTEUnion rally at @ourANU. Staff are currently pushing back against job cuts and a proposal to withhold the next pay increase. #VoteNO❌ Join the NTEU at https://t.co/REVce4VP21. ✊ https://t.co/hPIxsmBCwg

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!

Australian policies designed to prevent Aboriginal babies being born as recently as the 1970s. Honoured to work with Julia Hurst and @JakyTroy on this.
theconversation.com
Indigenous people have long spoken about coercive practices of officials and experts around birth control, as late as the 1960s. Now historians are finding evidence in the government’s own records.

“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
When the results of the 1966 census came out shortly after the 1967 referendum, they revealed something new: Australia’s Aboriginal population was growing, rapidly. This article examines white fear...
