Very cool experience attending my first ever AHA Conference day today. Highlights for me included a great panel discussion on the use of AI and hearing about @stplbrk.bsky.social's planned book on the Dutch Free City of Riouw. #AHA2025
Back tomorrow!

Diving head-first into the lit review and still feeling suprisingly confident. Very, very glad to have already had some experience with them - particularly with honours.

Had a great time on campus in Canberra for the three day HDR Launchpad program. The highlight was meeting many of my new HASS colleagues. Such a wonderful environment. Makes me wish I could do it on campus!

Down in Canberra 2-6 March for the HDR Orientation!
Last time I was in town was for only two days for the inaugural UNSW War Studies Workshop, so keen to have a little more time.
