so nice to be back at a @CSAAustralasia prefix day - on home turf @UniversitySA, no less!

[Victoria Knight @adiposcholar]

Some wonderful collaborative research from some of my favourite creative colleagues!

*British queer fat lib, of course. What can I say, I'm excited and tweeting with fat thumbs, as always.

[Victoria Knight @adiposcholar]

Possibly biased, but I was super honoured chair @carliegem89's talk on the history of British fat lib. Not pictured here is me grinning and vehemently nodding the entire time. Fat queer scholarship is good for the soul, especially when it's THIS good 😍 #GSSCon2023

Metadata might be a necessary and structured tool, but it's application upon user need, Leela says, is a richly subjective process which might just be able to tell us some stories. #GSSCon2023

[Victoria Knight @adiposcholar]

Next up, Cindy Tran is speaking on their Honours thesis in progress (!!!) about queer Vietnamese American subjectivity in fiction through a rich multitude of lenses. #GSSCon2023

[Victoria Knight @adiposcholar]

Finally, Leela O'Connor is talking to us about her art piece, 'Reconstructing Metadata,' a piece sprouting from a belief in the formative and foundational power of literature and a critique of the upholding of metadata creation as wholly subjective #GSSCon2023

(also Sarah is in the first six months of her PhD and just gave that banger presentation, so any fat studies/creative writing folks that might follow me, chuck @smouldemort a follow and chuck her all of your fattest, most joyful resources!)

[Victoria Knight @adiposcholar]

Let's get some #GSSCon2023 tweeting happening with our Research Snapshots session!

[Victoria Knight @adiposcholar]

@smouldemort draws on Muñoz's queer hope to assemble these ideas of fat hope - she offers that this concept can further the fat liberation movement, and can use science fiction as a tool to portray fat bodies as vessels of "joy and revolution and hope."

manning the registration desk at @GSSconference #GSSCon2023 this fine morning!

Day 2 of the @GSSconference #GSSCon2022 - ready for another day to wrap up an incredible process of planning, organising, gathering and sharing!

[Victoria Knight @adiposcholar]

So privileged to have @of_affinity as another keynote at #GSSCon2022 today speaking on the new Working With Children Check legislation and the barrier it forms for criminalised women reintegrating into their communities. The work of Seeds and these womens' stories are vital.

[Victoria Knight @adiposcholar]

There's no other way I'd want to have opened #GSSCon2022 than with @CardiganThief and @stueyjrichards, two people I owe a hell of a lot of my queer cultural studies knowledge to! What a keynote <3

[Gender, Sex and Sexualities Conference @GSSconference]

Keynote: Queering Research - Queer festivals, archives and activists from Feast. 🌟🌟
