what an extraordinary week of #EverydayHeritage ! It has been a privilege to be hosted on Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar, and to hear from @lauramca.bsky.social and Timo Ylimaunu. Thanks Steve Brown @tracyireland.bsky.social Sharpay Wu @naomijayne.bsky.social for organising! @everydayheritage.bsky.social

I'm still thinking about @lauramca.bsky.social thoughtful keynote this morning at @everydayheritage.bsky.social looking at the afterlives of The Maze prison, and the Magdalene Laundries. The strange history of Bobby Sand's bed was particularly fascinating.

Today's academic workshop took place in Fremantle Prison. What a fascinating and complex place with a troubling history. The staff are doing amazing work in preserving and adding to our understanding of its multilayered story. #everydayhistory

Almost ready to go with the 2024 #EverydayHeritage symposium at UWA @everydayheritage.bsky.social @tracyireland.bsky.social @lauramca.bsky.social @janelydon.bsky.social

Israel will not listen until there are consequences for its actions. The Australian Government has all the tools necessary at its disposal, including sanctions and travel bans on suspected war criminals, which it has deployed against Russia. All that is missing is the political will.
