Welcome! You have arrived at this angle…

Welcome to all things writing, reading, and ideas, and imagining the way those things intersect in a feminist world. In my day-job I'm an Australian feminist communications scholar living and working on the unceded lands of the Turrbal and Jagera people. In my academic life I teach undergraduate courses in writing and communication and research issues of sexual consent among young people attending Australian university colleges.

This newsletter is, like a garden, an experiment had in place. In it I aim to weed out the useless words, the words without wonder, and encourage you to wander about the world around us. I’ll be writing about great books and ideas, the natural world and the world of women. Writing is embodied and so this writing will also embody all that I love in the natural world: hiking, walking, swimming, running and gardening. This newsletter is my method of inquiry, part of what Lauren Berlant and Kathleen Stewart might say makes up a “Writing, Life”.

Why subscribe?

As I said in my very first post the great American writer Ursula K. Le Guin writes that human communication cannot be reduced to information because “the message not only involves, it is, a relationship between speaker and hearer”. I’m launching this space to connect with others who might be interested in this place, the in-between. Subscribe to get full access to the newsletter and website. Never miss an update.
