Melbourne-based, doing my PhD in colonial queer/LGBT history.

My partner and I at ChillOut Festival in Daylesford.

Back on campus again this morning.

My favourite 19th century description of the relationship between two men is “a singular, limpet-like intimacy.” The things you find in archives.

Tankard of morning coffee before I start work.

My favourite image from my research trip to Adelaide last year. Some bored clerk in the 1800s drew this rather handsome fellow on court documents.
