Melbourne/Naarm-based researcher Niamh White is researching how queer history is accessed in online spaces. She's exploring how young queer women are engaging with, sharing, and creating this content across a range of social media platforms.  The researcher told SYN Media's Taymi Brook queer history has never been more accessible online, with quick TikToks, Instagram infographics and Tumblr dissertations filling previous cultural gaps.
