There is something just wonderfully exhilarating about stepping into a lecture theatre and saying to students, 'Welcome to history! I'm so glad you're here.'

Thanks Pat, I was getting a little nervous about my ability to publish in a journal! 😓

Super delighted that my journal article, 'Recognising a kaleidoscopic archive: working with London Missionary Society records in the geekosphere’, was accepted for publication by Archival Science!

New role, new skills! Time for me to learn how to script, edit and produce short research-content vids.
Any tips as to how to edit Zoom recordings and the like, will be accepted with gratitude.

If you were wondering how my #OzHA2024 conference experience was, this about nails it.

A nuanced, emotive and careful telling of Beotuk truths by Professor Julia Laite.

Using maps Laite brings into the room Shanawadithit testimony and Beotuk experience.

Incredible.

A little side-trip from #OzHA2024 to visit the Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Library!

If you research children's voices, political cartoons, sport, Asia-Pacific relations, Pacific history (PNG, Noumea, & Fiji especially), nuclear protest, or trade, then contact the Library.

A perfect day to watch Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. A not so perfect day for Ms18 who deemed the 1993 film a "vintage edition".

Alright, book, history and museum geeks. The National Museum Australia website has 25% off books (and other stuff) atm. Total justification to get that book you must have for research. *grins in geek*

Stages of academia as defined by questions from family and friends: BA/Honours: Are you ever going to leave university? PhD: Have you finished your thesis yet? ECR: Have you got a book contract to publish yet? Why does no one ask about research? Findings? The fun?!

Today must be Phyllis Mander-Jones Day: I'll be presenting her @statelibrarynsw and @nationallibraryaus records in a lecture later today.

For now, I thank @alianational magazine, Incite, where a short piece was recently published.

Absolutely thrilled to have taken a chapter from my doctorate, and reworked it for a public lecture. Geua and Fan Lawes' stories have been shared with another wonderfully attentive audience. And it's always good to show politics is not just about the votes we cast or parties belonged to.

I seem to have eradicated the worst of stage fright, but now I have Writer's Fright: the fear of handing over written articles for editing and publication.

Oh, joy. Like this isn't going to be annoying.

We loved town, Alotau, the fresh food especially. And I set a new record, through the door of a local museum after five minutes on shore.

It ended up being a standing room only social and cultural history lecture this afternoon as we sail to PNG.

Goodness. Not bad for a kid who hid(es) in libraries on a regular basis.

If I come back with a tan from my latest lecture engagement I'd like people to remember I tan easy and GLAM sites are still my fav places. Water travel is a means to get to and learn from more 🤓

'Cause it's June 1st, almost one year since I walked across the stage in the puffy hat, it's time to critically reflect on my career so far, and where the next few months, year, years will take me. And to lasso those deadlines whooshing by.
