Bonus points for getting to spend some time in the magical Tilburg woods.

One way to understand the nature of legal work is to ask how the jurist becomes oriented towards their materials. What draws us in or excites us, what leaves us unmoved or repels us - (1/n)

Excited to kick off a month long fellowship at the EUI in Florence with this workshop around my forthcoming book. Say hi if you’re around!

Have had the most joyful time exploring how the lecture-performance might reshape how we teach, feel, and think about law. Last week I shared ‘Much to do with Law, but More to do with Love’ at the narrm ngarrgu library: part queer legal history, part personal storytelling, part staged feeling.

Think I’m on to something here …

Thrilled to share that my play “Much to do with Law, but More to do with Love” has won the 2025 Queer Playwriting Award presented by Midsumma Festival. So excited for the chance to travel and share this work with a wider range of audiences.

For years, I’ve had dinner table rants about why lawyers - and everyone who cares about justice in relation to storytelling - should listen to Taylor Swift. Now I also have an article to go with it:

Be ungovernable 😇

Feel wildly under-qualified to do this, but here we go. I’ll be doing a keynote at the 17th Melbourne Doctoral Forum on Legal Theory, trying to work out my inchoate thoughts and feelings about repair with a bunch of grad students. What could go wrong.

Wow this was satisfying.

In a week that's been laden with conversations about setbacks & the possibilities afforded by failure, here's a new essay written with Rupali Samuel about the failure of the marriage equality litigation in India, & the queer possibilities that emerge when we approach law slantwise.
