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/NXWGT7M…

“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

Australian policies designed to prevent Aboriginal babies being born as recently as the 1970s. Honoured to work with Julia Hurst and Jaky Troy on this. theconversation.com/friday-essay-t…

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/scholarships/e…

It was such a pleasure to interview Mavis Kerinaiua and Laura Rademaker about 'Tiwi Story: Turning History Downside Up' for New Books Network (@newbooksnetwork.bsky.social). We talked key Tiwi stories, book making as community process, football and so much more! Laura Rademaker newbooksnetwork.com/tiwi-story

Really pleased to be part of @HistAustJournal ‘s response to Martin Croft’s and Paul Sendziuk’s alarming survey of history enrollments and staffing. My piece: ‘where to now?’ All thoughts welcome! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

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

"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

"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." Tamson Pietsch

"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 Michelle Arrow

If anyone is still on this platform, just thought I'd let you know about something I just got published in @HistAustJournal AHA (Australia) from our annual conference in July. A respectable version of the keynote. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
