Emotions and Society has just published a review of my book 'Uncertainty and Emotion in the 1900 Sydney Plague' and recommends it for students from high school to postgrad. Read it here: bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journal...

Very pleased with this book review by the esteemed Peter Hobbins: "As an entrée to the affective impact of disease in the Australian historical context, it has much to recommend it".

An interesting interpretation of my book by Kristen Foley for Emotions: History, Culture, Society. "Barr’s book is
relevant to readers across broad fields including political science, public health and the broader scope of humanities..." brill.com/view/journal...
