Biography

Leigh Boucher is an Associate Professor at Macquarie University, specializing in the intersections of gender, sexuality, and Australian history. His research, which spans various historical contexts, explores themes of settler-colonialism, masculinity, and the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Australia. Boucher's notable projects include an examination of community formation during the HIV/AIDS crisis in Darlinghurst from 1983-1996 and an investigation into the legacies of feminist sexual revolutions in Australian citizenship since 1969. He is well-versed in feminist, queer, and postcolonial theory, with a particular interest in the ways these theories intersect with historical narratives. Boucher supervises research students in areas related to Australian history, 19th-century British world history, citizen rights, and collective memory, guiding candidates through diverse topics such as queer community archives and citizenship politics. Through his work, he aims to enhance understanding of how identity claims have evolved and continue to impact contemporary Australian society.
