Delighted to be in Sydney as a Visiting Scholar at Macquarie University!
I’m here to share my research on “bumping” as a queer ethic— rethinking Derrida & Cixous alongside Queer, Trans & Black Studies. Honoured to see this work resonate across disciplines & contexts. Join my masterclass on Tues!

An opportune time to visit the Cable St Mural. “The girls all went out with pepper pots in their coat pockets to throw pepper into the faces of the fascists. […] They wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with the dockers – working people the same as they all were, and socialists”.
