Early life and education

After studying a BA in sociology at University of Newcastle from 1993-2000, he studied creative writing, gaining a graduate certificate from University of Technology Sydney in 2003 and a postgraduate diploma from University of Melbourne in 2010. [4] He did his PhD from 2011 to 2015 in English and gender studies under Sue Martin at La Trobe University, [4] [5] also publishing a collection of poems as a companion volume. [2]

Career and impact

During his PhD, he founded the interdisciplinary gender, sexuality and diversity academic journal: Writing from Below in 2012, [6] and is currently the co-managing editor. [1] [7] He also worked as a sessional lecturer in interdisciplinary studies, being made a full lecturer upon being awarded his PhD in 2015 and subsequently made senior lecturer in gender, sexuality & diversity studies. [1]

It was also in 2015 that he began transitioning to be a non-binary trans masculine person at the age of 41, whilst completing a PhD thesis and having recently given birth to his youngest child. [2] [8] [9] He draws significantly on this experience in both his academic writing and poetry, for example his experience of male motherhood. [2] [10]

Alongside his academic work, he is also known for his published poetry. [3] [11] He employs a hybrid writing style; mixing academic writing on queer and trans theory with poetry and autobiography. [12] [13]
