“I came to ICS to learn from other cross-disciplinary researchers working in the humanities with a focus on action-oriented research. My work on Christmas Island’s labour and immigration history draws on a variety of techniques across history, anthropology, and art, and I’ve been lucky to connect with some brilliant colleagues who similarly wield multiple modes of inquiry to deliver outcomes in a problem space they care deeply about, ranging from community zine-making on Norfolk Island to studies of Antarctic architecture. Not being from a traditional social sciences background myself, I’m deeply grateful to ICS for providing such a welcoming home for interdisciplinary scholarship and for expanding my ideas of what a scholar can be and do.”
