The #OzHA2024 through my eyes as a first time presenter and attendee. So many talented historians and friendships built. An unforgettable experience- a thread

I believe it was just as raucous in Flinders University room SSS 154!

#OzHA2024: @madpentland explores the history of the satirical "Ernie Awards," est. in 1993 as a raucous formal fundraising dinner at which women in public life voted on the year's most sexist comments or behaviour, as a popular forum for the critique of misogyny until 2022

Love that both the Tele’s usually hard-nosed gossip columns today are all about swiftie penetration of politics and the judiciary 🙌 @LindaSilmalis @BrendenHills

Taylor performed ‘The Man’ Melbourne N1 in the silver jacket, so that basically confirms she saw my presentation, right?

I presented my first paper as a PhD candidate, at @swiftposium this afternoon ✨ What a perfect opportunity to merge the two facets of my personality, Taylor Swift (first and foremost) and Australian political history. @fbongiornoanu @ANUcass

@fbongiornoanu It’s on the spreadsheet!
