Julie Mcintyre Email Address

Senior Lecturer

University Of Newcastle is an education management institution which offers undergraduate, postgraduate, PhD and research masters programs.

I teach in cross-disciplinary humanities knowledge making and Aboriginal-colonial relationships, and am writing a global history of Australia for Princeton University Press (Ms. due 2023). My research on agriculture, science and environments focuses on how the growing, making, selling, drinking and export of Australian grape wine is a window to human desire, changing identities and landscapes. These inquiries cross into histories of alcohol production, business and trade, drinking cultures and tourism. I argue for the need to conceptualise 'global' as a re-entanglement of social, environmental and economic historical factors in settler capitalist communities. My award winning books on Australian wine history are published by NewSouth (2012, 2018) and my work appears in major journals, see https://www.newcastle.edu.au/profile/julie-mcintyre#publications I direct the University of Newcastle's Wine Studies Research Network. In 2010 I held the Rydon Fellowship at the Menzies Centre for Australian Studies, King's College London, in 2018 the State Library of NSW Merewether Fellowship and was a Fulbright Scholar visiting the University of California, Davis from November 2019 to February 2020. In 2022 I am a University of Newcastle Women in Research Fellow. It is of particular interest to me that agricultural industries exist in rural and regional environments for chiefly urban and international consumers and tourists, which has created an interdependence of ideas and identities across these spaces. I serve on the Executive Council of the History Council of New South Wales (2021 - 2023), am a member of the steering committee of the AANZ Environmental History Network (since 2017) and am the former Director of the University of Newcastle's Centre for 21st Century Humanities (2020-2021).
