Today we're sharing the late Will Steffen's recent (2021) presentation to us on the #Anthropocene to honour his life's work, and the clear, calm, cogent style that epitomised his efforts to communicate his science to people everywhere. Vale Will. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvD0TgE34HA

I was truly shocked by Louise Milligan's report on Opus Dei schools. Should we do an audit of who gets taught what where? Or should we just defund private schools? https://www.smh.com.au/national/why-we-should-defund-private-schools-and-examine-their-values-20230130-p5cgmv.html

I've been speaking to PhD candidates about the struggle to maintain a decent standard of living on stipend rates - well below minimum wage, because they're considered students, not workers. Particularly tough in this economy https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/jan/29/instant-noodles-and-extra-jobs-phd-candidates-barely-scraping-by-on-stipends-below-minimum-wage

This by @clmorgan is still so so depressingly true. Feminist fore-parents, please please put your old conference proceedings online! I'm desperate to read your meditations on gender and technology from 1991 or your comments on gender and bodies from 1988 but I can't even find a table of contents for many 'classic' works in #FeministArchaeology and #GenderArchaeology

New #OpenAccess publication! I wrote this essay on genetic genealogical practices with the brilliant Sarah Abel. The focus is on how DNA ancestry testing intersects with concepts of identity, descent, and ethnoracial politics
