<p>Vivian Blaxell’s brilliant essay, 'Nuclear Cats', was shortlisted for the Melbourne Prize for Literature in 2021.

We also discuss their research on Beyond Skin Deep, (<a href="https://www.beautysalonproject.com/">https://www.beautysalonproject.com/</a>) an ARC-funded project considering the role of salon workers in the emotional lives of their clients.
