Listen "49 | The Fire of Speculation"
Episode Synopsis
Don your rainbows (and beards) and get ready for the lavender haze of Australian history: Danielle Scrimshaw, author of She and Her Pretty Friend: The Hidden History of Australian Women Who Love Women (Ultimo, 2023), is in the studio to offer a queer eye for the straight historian. Why is queer history so important for the LGBTQIA+ community in the present? Can archive fever spark the fires of romance? And how can we uncover queer lives in heteronormative archives—is the answer ‘speculation as method’?
