I am a queercrip doctor of history, writer, teacher, and multidisciplinary artist living on Dharug land (Sydney, Australia). I am nonbinary and use they/them pronouns.

My work has been published by Overland, Cordite, MeanjinAustralian Poetry Journal, and Health & History, 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.

I recently completed my PhD in History at the University of Sydney, researching trans history, pathologisation, criminalisation, and community relations in late nineteenth–early twentieth century Australia. I am a proud member of the National Tertiary Education Union.

I am currently developing a debut poetry manuscript, and also working on turning my PhD thesis into a book.

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 live and write on occupied Dharug land. The Dharug peoples have been caring for these lands, waters, and skies since time immemorial. I offer my respects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander elders past and present, and my solidarity to their ongoing struggle for justice.
