@BarrowcliffeR @ClareArcherLean @sandyosullivan @sarahjcasey @spirekids Congratulations! A fantastic achievement and so well deserved!

Received the news that my doctorate has been awarded (with no amendments!!). Feels kind of crazy that my PHD journey has officially come to an end. Thanks to my amazing supervisors @ClareArcherLean @sandyosullivan @sarahjcasey @spirekids for their incredible support.

@drdavemcdonald Brilliant! If you subscribe via the website, you'll get an email when each meeting is coming up. The full list for 2023 is at the end of this post: criticalarchivesreading.com/2022/12/its-wr…

@ktaines I can’t make this date but am now signed up and will look out for future meetings

We're starting the NZ/Aus critical archives reading group for 2023 by reading "These are not just pieces of paper" by Jennifer Douglas, Alexandra Alisauskas, Elizabeth Bassett, Noah Duranseaud, Ted Lee & Christina Mantey, and are thrilled that author @archivingeye is joining us!

Honoured to be part of this special issue with @CateONeill1 & @ktaines! Huge thanks to the guest editors @archivingeye, Mya Ballin, @lapp_jessica, and Sadaf Ahmadbeigi, and all the fellow authors for an incredible issue.

The next meeting of the Aus/NZ critical archives reading group will be next Wed 7 Dec at 1pm AEDT. There's no reading, instead come along & share any reflections on conference papers, talks or seminars or talks you have seen this year. RSVP: criticalarchivesreading.com/2022/11/meetin…
