In October 2022 I curated and ran an exhibition, Stories of Gender in West Yorkshire at Leeds City Museum in Central Leeds with Leeds Museums and Galleries. The museum featured interactive oral histories from trans people in West Yorkshire, clothing, badges, and placards from the West Yorkshire Queer Stories collection, as well as zines and other work by local trans artists, an interactive ‘My Gender Mixtape’ activity, and interactive video interviews with trans philosophers about gender identity and gender. The exhibition used materials from the West Yorkshire Queer Stories Archive and Cat Lane’s Breaking the Binary exhibition. It was attended by over 400 people over two days. Materials from the exhibition will be available here soon.

EXHIBITION

In late 2023-early 2025 I have published several public articles on trans rights for the Australian Broadcasting Corporations’ ABC Religion and Ethics. These articles disseminate some of the research in my Gender Identity What It Is and Why It Matters (OUP, 2025) to a broader audience.

PODCASTS

I co-produced 2 story-driven philosophy podcasts for Slate’s Hi-Phi Nation.

One podcast is about animal activism and civil and uncivil disobedience. David Killoren and I interview animal activists, animal rights campaigners, and the farmers on the other side. As well as philosophers of civil and uncivil disobedience and philosophers with views on the effectiveness of activism. This podcast won the Australasian Association of Philosophy Media Prize 2020.

A second podcast is about Hostile Design, which is a type of urban design that attempts to exclude people from particular areas of cities. In that episode I interview Leah Borromeo who turned anti-homeless spikes into beds with Space not Spikes, Rowland Atkinson, Chair of Inclusive Societies at the University of Sheffield, and Victor Callister Deputy Director of Architecture at the Design Council in London. And Barry Lam and I consider the relationship between hostile design and freedom.

I am working on story-driven podcasts on the future of gender.
