Catherine Dewhirst is Senior Lecturer in History, at the University of Southern Queensland, where she teaches history (Australian, European, global, women's) and historiography. Her research focuses on Italian migrant communities, the printed press and family histories from the era of Italian imperialism to the Second World War. She is currently working on a collaborative research project, engaging with the experiences and memories of second-generation Italian migrants whose parents were interned in Australia. She has had two co-edited books recently published, exploring the transnational history of Australia's migrant and minority press, and is working on a monograph on Italy's imperialisation of the Italian migrant press, 1880s-1920s.
