The unit focuses on ideas and images about Land and Country in Australia expressed in a variety of Indigenous and colonial texts, from writing to art and cinema.

@BruceAlexB @stjohnsdatabase @Create_NSW Unfortunately no, I don't have my own copy of the book and only took notes from the one at the State Library of NSW.

"A 'Raw, Ignorant Boy': John Harris, Esquire" by @DrCameronSmith is now online in the @Create_NSW-funded "Old Parramattans" collection on @stjohnsdatabase. Though never as notorious as #JohnMacarthur, John Harris in may ways embodied the colonial elite. #OzHist #twitterstorians

Follow up @DrCameronSmith's @stjohnsdatabase essay on #FirstFleet #convict & surgeon John Irving with his book on another border-crossing doc, who was "one of the most prominent & controversial figures in Australian medicine," pub.d by @ANU_Press #histmed https://t.co/qjzBnZqdO8

Here's an essay I wrote about John Irving, First Fleet convict and surgeon and what he illustrates about health, sickness and life in early New South Wales.

John Irving was the 1st convict emancipated in NSW &, as Dr. Alex Cameron-Smith explains in this @Create_NSW-funded essay, his life illustrates many important facets of early colonial life & #medicine. Read "The Best Surgeon Amongst Them" https://t.co/ccnGuZouk3 #twitterstorians

@vneelaka Congratulations Vivek!

Cilento and his colleagues believed in using public health practices to project Australian influence in the region, whilst Cilento threaded ideas about governing the colonial Pacific through his writing and work on Aboriginal health and social medicine in Australia.

ANU have published my book. Thanks to Stewart Firth, Emily Hazlewood, and everyone at @ANU_Press

#newrelease ‘A Doctor Across Borders’ delves into the life of right-wing health official Raphael Cilento by author @DrCameronSmith @Sydney_Uni https://t.co/78sCDKMWnW

[Alex Cameron-Smith @DrCameronSmith]

I thought writing about Cilento's career would be an interesting way to explore how public health expressed and embodied colonial relationships between Australia, the Pacific and international spheres. So that's what I did.

@DrCameronSmith but currently enjoying a couple at my favorite ny inn for the long weekend.

[Alex Cameron-Smith @DrCameronSmith]

Been in ny for a Rockefeller Archives research grant for a couple weeks, one to go. Great place to work.

[Alex Cameron-Smith @DrCameronSmith]

@vneelaka Hi Vivek, I'm in New York and will be visiting Rockefeller until 10 September. See you this week.

[Alex Cameron-Smith @DrCameronSmith]

@vneelaka A Countway Library fellowship. It looks like we may not be in the US at the same time now as I haven't received supporting docs.

[Alex Cameron-Smith @DrCameronSmith]

@vneelaka I haven't arranged a place yet. I need a visa for one of my grants so I'm waiting until it's sorted out. Have you booked a place?

[Alex Cameron-Smith @DrCameronSmith]

@vneelaka Looks like we'll be there at the same time, I've booked a desk from 1 to 17 August.

[Alex Cameron-Smith @DrCameronSmith]

@vneelaka Hi Vivek, I got really busy teaching this semester so delayed planning, but I've now booked a archive desk for August 1-17
