Breakthrough:                                   

a sudden, dramatic, and important discovery or development.

Challenged to describe ‘that euphoric feeling of discovery while in the depths of research’ or what its like when making ‘that wonderful moment of making a connection that no one had seen before’ I presented alongside Gwyn McClelland, Nikita Vanderbyl, Natasha Joyce, and Rebecca Le Get at Emerging Historians, hosted by PHA (Vic & Tas) and the Royal Historical Society of Victoria.

An edited version of my presentation was published in Pharos.

My research interests are intercultural societies, religious performances, materiality, and early encounters between indigenous and colonial representatives, especially in nineteenth-century Pacific societies. My History Honours, first-class, research paper at Deakin University is titled 'Imaginative Sketches: How expedition sketch maps represent the cultural work of both indigenous intermediaries and colonial emissaries'. My PhD thesis is tentatively titled 'Accepting change: how is culture conceptualised and performed in intercultural spaces.'
