Harry Freemantle

Harry has been teaching at UWA's Albany Campus for a number of years, currently focusing on undergraduate History units. He has also taught Indigenous Studies, Smart Start, Anthropology, Sociology, and Medieval & Early Modern units. Additionally, Harry provides tutorial assistance for the School of Indigenous Studies, and mentors Albany postgraduates.

His publications span various fields, from mining and youth work to academic articles. After completing his PhD, he authored Seeing the Social, a book examining early visibility technologies like perspective, lenses, balloons, lithographs, dioramas, camera obscuras, and photography, including the accompanying metaphors, in order to draw out how the visual aspects of seeing inform the articulable at particular moments in history. This theme continues to animate his research, along with the important task of Truth-Telling.

Outside of teaching, Harry enjoys spending time with his family and friends, running, snorkelling, and engaging in creative pursuits like reading, writing, drawing, and painting. He has exhibited his artwork in several solo and joint exhibitions.

Harry is guided by an implicit, inbuilt trust, that resides in the centre of being - das dasien ist rund (being is round) - that is understood without speaking its name. Becoming what one is.
