About Me

My name is Nick Irving. I trained as a historian, but I don’t work as a historian.

Since leaving academic work I’ve become very interested in the concept of Work, its history, and our anxieties about its future. This blog is an attempt to work some of my questions out. It’s a ‘side hustle’; an attempt to keep my mind ticking over and use the skills I value the most: reading and writing.

I wrote my PhD on protest in Australia during the 1960s, and read a bunch of stuff about the public that really stuck with me.

I taught briefly at Sydney Uni and at Macquarie Uni, on the US since 1865, Australia since 1945, and War and Peace in Global History.

The views expressed on this blog are my own and do not represent those of my employer.
