Róisín Maeve (they/she) is a writer living, working, and playing on unceded Kaurna Country. Best described as an incurable troublemaker, joy theorist, and lifelong lover of words. They take an interdisciplinary approach that merges the personal with the popular, mixes memoir with cultural criticism, and blurs pop music revelling with academic pondering. Róisín is passionate about many things but high on the agenda is making knowledge more accessible, engaging and joyful.
