My name is Dr. Clare O’Farrell and I lectured at the Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane, Australia until my retirement in December 2024. For further details about me see my publications page. You can also contact me via email. This blog features unashamably biased commentary on books, TV, films, Michel Foucault, universities, fountain pens etc. etc. Sous les pavés, la plage.
The writing on this blog is my own handcrafted, artisanal writing. The only computer assisted writing technologies I use are spellcheck and occasionally Google translate. I do not use Grammarly, Chat GPT, Claude or any other AI Large Language Model (LLM). Sometimes I even write by hand on paper with a fountain pen and then type it up old school.
The banner image is a detail from the 2nd edition of the 1539 Carta Marina by Olaus Magnus held by the James Ford Bell Library, University of Minnesota.
