Thrilled to share that my first publication has been accepted and will be out soon with one of my favorite academic journals of all time @ROAPEjournal (review of African political economy). Will let folks know when it’s live.

Out supporting the @NTEUnion strike at @SAEInstituteAUS. They’ve had 2yrs of negotiations and still no EA + insulting pay offer of 1c/hour above the award.

In the 19th century we had "blackbirding". Today Australian fossil fuels are drowning the Pacific. How little has changed... Here I introduce my recent article, onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…. Click through to @ppesydney for the TL;DR.

Just got out of a 300+ strong USyd @NTEUNSW meeting. 93% voted in favour to endorse the institutional academic boycott of Israel. Feeling very proud to be union today.

When you accidentally reinvent Marxist theory...

I genuinely wish Marx knew calculus – I think it would have helped him sharpen and refine his ideas (and faster, as well).

...during which period, my historical research on Sydney was unexpectedly enabled by @Ancestry, which at the time had the only digitised full-text copy of a particular colonial archive. Dubious credit to the white settler interest in geneaology?
