I am currently working on a PhD in History at the University of Sydney, examining trans history, madness, and carceral interactions in late nineteenth–early twentieth century Australia. I am also involved in a number of organising projects and grassroots movements; I was Disability Officer at USyd in 2018, have worked with the USyd South East Asia Centre on projects of disability education and activist collaboration, and occasionally contribute to disability advisory groups. More recently I have been working within the Disability Justice Network, a national grassroots collective formed in 2021.

I live and write on the occupied lands of the Gadigal people, who have been caring for these lands, waters, and skies since time immemorial. I offer my respects to Gadigal elders past and present, and my solidarity to their ongoing struggle for justice.
