I am an Australian theatre and cultural historian, with particular expertise in the pre-New Wave period between 1949 and 1975 and the contemporary mainstage. In all of my research, I'm interested in the institutionalisation and legitimation of live performance, and what this can reveal about national preoccupations and anxieties. My work has been recognised with significant research grants, including an ARC Discovery Early Career Research Award (DECRA) between 2020 and 2023, and prizes (including ADSA's Marlis Thiersch Prize for best journal article in 2022).
My research expertise can be separated into three broad strands:
I'm available to supervise PhD- and Masters-level research across all three of these strands, in both theory- and practice-led modes. In particular, I'm looking to support projects that interact with and support the development of the AusStage database (www.ausstage.edu.au), which I currently lead.
