I am a social historian currently completing my PhD research in Antarctic history and sociology. My project focuses on the everyday, domestic life of early Antarctic explorers and seeks to identify and subvert the stereotypes associated with exploration. I believe that Antarctica is for everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexuality, ability, or socioeconomic status.

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.
