In the short story, “Uncle Anthony’s Blunder,” a gentleman approaches a young lady whose back is turned to him. From behind, she is dressed in fine clothing with hands covered by gloves. Before waiting for her to turn around, the older man, Antony Nesfield, blurts out a proposal of marriage, however, when she turns around, he discovers that she’s Jamaican and Black – a case of mistaken identity. The engraving and following short story appear on page 231 of a 343-page duodecimo volume, published in the 1833 Forget Me Not, a literary annual title that first appeared in 1823 and lead the revolution in combining the almanac, women’s conduct manuals, and emblem books.

The Arts Digital Lab invites you to join us for this celebration of Digital Research in the Faculty of Arts, at which recipients of the 2025 Arts Digital Seed Fund will present on their research.
Jacq Jones (they/them), La Trobe University. Thursday 12 February.
A position statement on Generative AI (GenAI) in Teaching and Research was developed at La Trobe University in response to the rapid adoption of these technologies by both students and tertiary institutions, and implemented into all courses from September 2025. In the talk, we present a summary of the position statement and examples of how it has been integrated into undergraduate classes, including discussion, pre-bunking activities, and changes to assessment design.
