So - if you’re wondering who I am, I’m a professor of private law at Melbourne Law School, specialising in Remedies law. I read and research widely, and like to have interesting conversations. I’m currently writing various books: textbooks on Remedies and contract, a non-fiction book about Animals and the Law, and fiction. Here’s my work profile. https://law.unimelb.edu.au/about/staff/katy-barnett

Ah well, here I am - who knows what will still be standing at the end of 2021? Thanks @helendale65 for inviting me.

The Ownership of Swans in English History: Does the Queen Own all the Swans?

In this guest post, Katy Barnett traces the history of swans as status symbols–and the marks by which people claimed to own these ‘royal birds’.

If you want to get an idea of my writing - here’s a blog post I wrote last year on the topic of whether the Queen owns all the swans - blends my love of history, literature, law and animals. Parts of this research will end up in the Animals and the Law book I’m writing with Jeremy Gans (due to be published in Feb 2022 by Black Inc). https://legalhistorymiscellany.com/2020/05/18/does-the-queen-own-all-the-swans/

So, somewhat shyly, I thought I might share some of my artwork, as I joined Minds partly to get my creative juices flowing again (as well as being a law professor, I love to do art, creative writing and calligraphy). Here is an etching I did in 2005.
