Isobelle Barrett Meyering joined Macquarie University in 2018 as an ARC DECRA Research Fellow in the School of Humanities. She is engaged in a significant project that traces the evolution of children’s conceptions and practices of citizenship in Australian democracy since 1945. Her prior research project, 'Contested Childhoods: A History of Children’s Rights in Australia (1959-2013)', examined the ways in which debates around children’s rights have influenced the political, social, and cultural landscapes over sixty years. This work received support from the Macquarie University Research Fellowship from 2018 to 2024. In addition, Isobelle has served as the David Mitchell Memorial Fellow at the State Library of New South Wales in 2019 and as a Visiting Fellow at the ANU Humanities Research Centre in 2022. She has written extensively on Australian feminism, childhood, and family, with her book 'Feminism and the Making of the Child Rights Revolution, 1969-1979' released by MUP in 2022. Moreover, her publications address diverse topics including feminist parenting practices, lifestyle politics, and suburban feminism.
