I am a Senior Lecturer at the University of Tasmania’s Conservatorium of Music and an Adjunct Senior Researcher at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS). I have travelled to Antarctica multiple times as a researcher and have published in journals and books in fields as diverse as musicology, sound studies, Antarctic and polar studies, history, literary studies and tourism. I was a Chief Investigator on the Australian Research Council Linkage Project Transforming Tourists’ Antarctic Experience and am currently a Chief Investigator on the ARC Discovery Project Creative Antarctica: Australian Artists and Writers in the Far South.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
