Interested in reading about the latest developments in queer studies? My supervisor has been editing an Encyclopedia of Queer Studies that will be published next year. 🎉

My first publications are entries in this book where I discuss frameworks I've been working on in my thesis. 🌈🎓

For LGBTQ+ and internet scholars, check out this new open-access (free to read) book trilogy on online hate. It includes a diverse range of topics for anyone interested in disinformation and hate speech, plus a few chapters on how the far-right spreads disinformation against LGBTQ+ people online.

Just a quick note for my new followers: I use my birth name for my (upcoming) publications. The name I'm using now is an abbreviation I prefer to use and is temporary. I only use my birth name in professional settings, and I never use it outside work. Hope this clears up any future confusion! 🏳️‍⚧️

RMIT's Digital Hostility and Disinformation Lab has a new website! Check out our upcoming events, recordings from previous events, and our current research, including surveys. I'm helping out with the survey on LGBT experiences with online abuse.

I've been quiet here because I'm researching LGBT experiences with Twitter. My focus has been on trans, gender expansive, and queer people. Today, my data collection phase concluded. I'm writing a publication on my research. I can't wait to share my research with you all very soon. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

The Australian Human Rights Commission is looking for submissions from experts on threats to trans and gender expansive people's human rights. They are asking for a short, 2500-word piece of research. Check out the call for submissions here:

There have been three major waves of opposition to transgender health care in the past century, including today's. Each wave has used pseudoscience to justify its hostility to trans people, including today's. 🧪 www.scientificamerican.com/article/pseu...

Exciting news! This week, RMIT's DERC "soft launched" their new lab on Digital Hostility and Disinformation. Our new lab is working on panels, conferences, and publications. I'm assisting with an LGBTQ+ study for the lab. I'll be posting more updates on our research next year. #AcademicSky

I've been working on launching a reading group on digital methods for queer, and trans studies. Our members are HDRs from RMIT's DERC. If there are any academics, HDRs, and postdocs interested in joining in on Aus time, let me know, and we can see if we can make this a network! 🌈 🎓

Bluesky, I'm looking for advice. I'm experiencing difficulties with using social media to find participants for two surveys. I'll really appreciate any and all recommendations on where to share my surveys. Is Bluesky a good place? Both are about LGBTQ+ experiences with social media.

I'm a PhD candidate that studies LGBTQIA+ and trans online cultures, social media, digital hostilities, digital humanities, and digital ethnography. I’ll be posting about my research, and publications. Hope to connect with other LGBTQIA+ academics, activists, and researchers.
