Finally catching up on a few of @davidolusoga.bsky.social documentaries; episode 2 of Empire is a great introduction to convict transportation.

Looking to presenting at the 2026 British Crime Historians Symposium at Oxford Brookes University. The other 2 Convict Transportation papers sound great and it's chaired by Emma D. Watkins whose book - Life Courses of Young Convicts Transported to Van Diemen's Land - is one of the best on the topic.
