“At the end of the march, I thought about how Pride is so important – to march along the route where others have marched before us, reflecting, showing solidarity, and celebrating the resilience and resistance of the LGBTIQA+ community.”

My thoughts on Midsumma Pride March here 🏳️‍🌈
Midsumma march: Stepping out for Pride
Pride is about celebration, but also about fighting for visibility, justice, and equality. On Sunday in Melbourne, more than 7000 flew the flag for the LGBTIQA+ community.

Presenting some exciting new research at the Screen Studies Association of Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand (SSAAANZ) conference next week. I’ll be reflecting on the dynamics that shape the visibility/invisibility of Australian queer televisual history. Here’s a taster!

Highlights from this year’s HDR symposium ‘under construction’. What a treat to spend a day with Monash’s media, film and journalism PhD cohort and hear about their research!

Love this! Ok my things are:
1) Australian queer web series
2) reading Disney movies through queer theory. Moana and Munoz’s queer utopias, amirite?!
Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about.
Here's mine:
- Whether we can have statehood without inhabitable land.
- The legal-philosophical symbolism in Wagner's Ring.
