To write our past is to shape our future

When I consider the interconnectedness of all things, I feel a sense of awe, an obligation to care, and desire to connect. This is why I read and write.

I read and write about the following:

  • The history of the Richmond River Valley
  • The relationship between how we think and how we perceive and experience the world
  • Historiography and the philosophy of history
  • Australian colonial history and the encounter with First Nations Peoples
  • Nationalism, literature and the nation as imagined moral community
