I am a queercrip writer, artist, and historian living on Gadigal land (Sydney, Australia). I am genderqueer and use they/them pronouns.

My work has been published by Overland, Cordite, MeanjinAustralian Poetry Journal, and Lilith: A Feminist History Journal, among others. Most of my publication history is available to read for free online here; I am happy to provide personal copies of any other work upon request. If you would like to contact me about my work or for a commission, you can do so here or by emailing me at robin.m.eames@gmail.com.

My website design is based on my own accessibility requirements, but please get in touch if you have any concerns related to accessing site content.

I am currently working on a PhD in History at the University of Sydney, researching trans history, pathologisation, and criminalisation in late nineteenth–early twentieth century Australia. I am also involved in a number of organising projects and grassroots movements. I was Disability Officer at USyd in 2018, and have worked with ACON, PWDA, FPDN, Arts Access Australia, and the USyd South East Asia Centre on various projects around disability activism and community building. More recently I have been working within the Disability Justice Network, a national grassroots collective formed in 2021.

I live and write on the occupied lands of the Gadigal people, who have been caring for these lands, waters, and skies since time immemorial. I offer my respects to Gadigal elders past and present, and my solidarity to their ongoing struggle for justice.
