I am a researcher, creative practitioner, and curator whose work explores human habitation in extreme environments, particularly Antarctica. With over two decades of experience, I combine cultural studies, spatial design, and environmental humanities to investigate how people live, work, and thrive in polar regions. “Antarctic Interiors”, one of my research projects, involved a 1,100 km tractor traverse to Concordia Station located in the continental interior. This expedition provided me with a first-hand understanding of Antarctic living conditions.

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.
