PhD researcher Ieuan Rees presented his ongoing PhD project on local place plans, heritage, placemaking, and the everyday to a public audience at an Australia ICOMOS ACT talk on 21 May 2025. This event was supported by the Everyday Heritage ARC Linkage Project, GML Heritage and Australia ICOMOS.

Pleased to share that Prof Tracy Ireland has been invited as the keynote speaker at the conference, Heritage & Conservation, in Beijing from 9-11 May 2025. It was a fascinating opportunity to share some of the work we have done for Everyday Heritage with audiences outside Australia #everydayheritage

Very excited to be heading to Beijing and the Centre for Ethical Studies at Renmin University to talk about the ethics and aesthetics of everyday heritage!

Sad to see Dan Tehan retain his seat: he was the architect of Job Ready Graduates, one of the most destructive, punitive higher education policies we’ve ever seen. Labor needs to get rid of it as soon as possible

If you're having a difficult day, have a read through of this article on the urgent question of whether the Bayeux Tapestry has 93 or 94 penises. And people say history is boring. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

In the 14th century, someone who didn't have a highlighter handy thought to use octopus tentacles to mark the most important parts. I love it so much (Manuscript from the Bankcroft library, UC Berkeley)

🕊️ Call for Nominations: Peter Ucko Memorial Award Nominations are open — and due this Friday (April 4, 2025)! 🏆 Who can be nominated? Anyone — at any career stage — who has made a significant contribution to archaeology in ways that align with the values of the World Archaeological Congress.

Guardian Australia @australia.theguardian.com reporting on the proposed changes to the ARC grants system. There’s concern that getting rid of standalone fellowships will have lots of unintended consequences, especially for Early-Career Researchers. By @donnadlu.bsky.social

I'm very pleased to be a member of the academic committee for WAC-10 in June in Darwin. Please follow @worldarch.bsky.social to see exciting developments and hope to see you in Darwin in June!

Our collection 'Alternative Economies of Heritage' is now published! Easily available for those who have library subscriptions to Routledge! Proud of this collaboration with my University of Canberra colleagues Denise and Bethaney www.routledge.com/Alternative-...

This is appalling. Tim is about as open and public in his work as it's possible to be—the fact that the NLA shut off access, informed him by email, and then said 'get in touch if you want to have a conversation' feels more like Meta or X than a national library. Why not *start* with a conversation?

Many thanks to all the people supporting me on Bluesky! I can see your comments, but can't respond to them from here in the Fediverse unless your account is bridged via https://fed.brid.gy/

The #everydayheritage team organised and led six days of events (25-30 November 2024) in Western Australia. We are thrilled to share that the symposium recordings are available here everydayheritage.au/news/everyda... @austhistassoc.bsky.social Photo: Ursula Frederick, Steve Brown and Sharpay Wu

And it’s finally out - our paper on #photography #Sudan and #JebelMoya. It’s open access :-) It’s a collab between archaeologists and colleague from @wellcomecollection.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Happy to announce our first Everyday Heritage Blog post of 2025 - Researching a House History: A Tasmanian Example, brought to you by one of our Chief Investigators, Dr Imogen Wegman @imoweg.bsky.social everydayheritage.au/blog/researc... #everydayheritage Image: Tasmanian Archives

Exciting to be reviewing the page proofs of a new book Alternative Economies of Heritage edited with wonderful colleagues Denise Thwaites and Bethaney Turner. There are great case studies and a moving afterword by Denis Byrne. Will be available early in 2025! www.routledge.com/Alternative-...

#AAA47 Day 2 about to kick off- with Steve Brown introducing our Plenary Speaker John Schofield

After our brilliant week of @everydayheritage.bsky.social in Perth, we have swapped the Indian for the Pacific ocean and a week of AAA. Flew in on a plane full of archaeologists! 😄

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

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

My first visit to Cottosloe Beach, divine. Lovely location chosen for a coffee meeting about our new project Nuclear Nation: A contemporary archaeology of Australia's atomic heritage. Augurs well!

and for those interested in the EVERYDAY HERITAGE project see our website everydayheritage.au #everydayheritage

Very excited to start the week of EVERYDAY HERITAGE here in Perth! The Noongar season of Kambarang has brought the heat back and the moojar is beginning to flower. Our Thursday 28 symposium program is live: everydayheritage.au/wp-content/u...

The greatest and most surprising flight in Australia (maybe) is the direct one from Hobart to Perth. Four-ish hours across the ocean, with half an hour of land at each end. Remarkable. Good morning Perth!

A bit disconcerting when one of the world's largest moth species is attracted to your headlamp! Found this beautiful Hercules Moth in far north Queensland. #wildoz #wildlife #nature #biodiversity #insects

We strongly suggest that academic publishers and other platforms that host research rapidly implement a Share to Bluesky button for their articles. Here's how: docs.bsky.app/docs/advance... #AcademicSky #HigherEd #Altmetrics
