I’m delighted to say that my first publication is out! My article “‘The gates of hell’: the cruel optimism of national security in Secret City’ is available in Continuum: https://t.co/zKSgi7JpYS @ANUcass @ANUmedia

@NanHouston1 @rachel_merker @RottenInDenmark That’s my exact point, she does. She presents the various studies on the topic, discusses their benefits and limitations, and then encourages you to make decisions based on what is best for you and your child. What’s good for me won’t be good for you, she says that frequently.

[Dr Katie Cox @katierosecox]

@NanHouston1 @rachel_merker @RottenInDenmark Yeah, I can see why that would rub the wrong way. I think the marketing is doing it a disservice. She says often that both parents and babies are people, and that we can relax about doing what’s right for us. It’s not really ‘data-driven’ in the rigid way that implies.

[Dr Katie Cox @katierosecox]

@rachel_merker @NanHouston1 @RottenInDenmark Yes! I found them freeing too. I think publishers must encourage academics to do the cutesy ‘I’m an economist lol’ schtick to make books more accessible. She really just makes occasional, extremely tongue-in-cheek jokes about two economist parents liking spreadsheets.

We could also have added ‘sending a tweet’...

[Dr Katie Cox @katierosecox]

@Kate_Bowen93 Hello yes I would like this too please.

[Dr Katie Cox @katierosecox]

My amazing colleague Rachel Franks (@cfwriter) has worked tirelessly to pull this conference together for us all. It's diverse, interdisciplinary, and intensely topical for anyone in Australian humanities. If you have time next week (even for 1-2 panels!) we'd love to see you.

[ACHRC @ACHRC]

Last minute registrations for our Annual Meeting are still open! Interested in the humanities and... law, medicine, the environment, the future, and much more? Join us and @statelibrarynsw online for free:

@LaurenSadow And I fully intend to overcater. Shakshouka for the soul! (And so I have something controllable to distract me when the results inevitably don’t come in...) #selfcare

[Dr Katie Cox @katierosecox]

@CeTompson That’s not to invalidate the way you’re feeling! It’s tough to talk yourself out of imposter syndrome. But the ways in which we have or haven’t been trained to think are often invisible even to us. IMO academia needs more transparency about what success/learning really involve.

[Dr Katie Cox @katierosecox]

@CeTompson Absolutely! A big shift in my self-image happened when I stopped thinking in terms of raw intelligence, and instead looked at trained skills and ways of thinking. Theories, norms, language, methods - not knowing them can make you feel out of place, but they’re all learned.

[Dr Katie Cox @katierosecox]

@TNulleyValdes @ourANU @ANUcass Congratulations, Thomas!

[Dr Katie Cox @katierosecox]

It’s lonely graduating in the middle of a pandemic, but there are little moments of celebration that make it all worthwhile. If you don’t have a friend who documents your life events in cross-stitch, get one - thanks to the brilliant Em Sharman for being mine!

[Dr Katie Cox @katierosecox]

@Kate_Bowen93 Congratulations!! 🎉

[Dr Katie Cox @katierosecox]

@ACHRC @ANUmedia What an adventure of a conference! Thank you to @vkuttainen - the best and most intellectually enthusiastic co-convener anyone could ever wish for!

[Dr Katie Cox @katierosecox]

I haven't even graduated yet but I feel seen. This is so important - our value is not defined by our employment status. #achrc #ecrchat

[Margaret Cook @mcookhistory]

Great encouragement to ECRs from Dr Tully Barnett @ACHRC conference: there is ‘no dignity clock’ ticking for a getting a continuing position. Don’t let the precarious path define you. #ACHRC

[ACHRC @ACHRC]

Dr. Paul Hardisty @AIMS_CEO on writing The Abrupt Physics of Dying “I became fascinated with the difference between fact…and the truth. Fact is what science does…but truth is something completely different. Truth can only be understood through lived experience” #ACHRC #writing

[Dr Katie Cox @katierosecox]

These presentations are seriously fantastic. I've gotten to know them very well while putting them up on the website! If you're interested in the amazing things that the humanities and arts can do (with or alongside the sciences) take a look.

The ACHRC has today written to @DanTehanWannon , calling on the Minister to recognise that the Government’s proposed changes to university fee structures will "stifle diverse voices" in universities and “impoverish #humanities research”.
