Phew, it was a busy week of presentations! Earlier this week, I appeared in a Centre for Contemporary Histories seminar and yesterday I had a great time presenting at AQuA’s Queer Histories conference. It was so nice to share my work in progress with such kind and supportive audiences.

Grateful to have had the opportunity test run some research at #OzHA2024’s AWHN stream alongside Megan Graham and Charmaine Robson! As always, a kind and and supportive space with some great questions✨

Not being there in person means a quick trip down to the bakery for treats

I wrote about the crochet and knitting patterns in the Woolbrook Property Family Mementos collection (held by Kim barne thaliyu / Geelong Heritage Centre) for the Geelong Addy 🧶

In today’s issue of the Geelong Addy, I wrote a v brief history of the Ukrainian community in Geelong

It’s been an online learning kind of day, starting with a property research webinar from the SLV and finishing with the HCV’s making history exhibitions seminar (feat. my fave Melb Museum display: Little Lon ✨)

I researched and wrote about City Hall’s disabled access ramp for the Geelong Addy for Social Inclusion Week! You can find it in today’s paper (or for free, non-pay walled access via Newsbank at your local library) 📰
