This talk is going to be fun. Looking forward to unpacking the limitations of victimhood in generating legal agency, and how the turn to history’s best intentions can erase identity and contestation in counterproductive ways

I’m very excited to discuss this project @pablo1981.bsky.social and I cooked up a while back with the nice folks at GLaw - we’re going to have a great time unpacking the politics of international legal cooperation and how states hide behind multilateralism to persecute political opponents

63 products now have heritage status, but none of them are Australian UNESCO has listed 63 more products and practices for Intangible Cultural Heritage protection at its Paraguay session this week.

The more serious version now: new intangible heritage elements alert! Also a good (if slightly outdated - UK now a party!) discussion of the dynamics of the convention diplomatically and on the ground: www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12...

Always cute when your husband sends you a news story because he knows you’re interested in the topic, but without reading it, and then you’re quoted in it (wrong employer, but I’ll take the win): www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12...

I've just downloaded and skimmed this report. It is a magisterial work that will be a great help to researchers, especially those, like me, whose lack of Spanish and Portuguese reading skills make some of the submissions to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights effectively inaccessible.

Just out! Special issue on queer and queering heritage (with a fantastic manifesto to boot)!
I have a little something in there, too, thinking about what it means to think about “queer” as an adjective or a verb in heritage practice australia.icomos.org/publications...

The day I got my Bsky code, new article came out. So, self-promotion into the void: 'Excavating the field of heritage law: support, renewal, and iconoclasm', where I attack what we think we know about this area of law, and try to move past all of its ongoing negative effects doi.org/10.1017/S094...
