Jasper Heeks is a PhD candidate at King’s College London researching overseas reactions to deviant and delinquent Australian ‘larrikin’ youth, 1870-1940. His thesis explores circulations and networks of news, connections between places and communities, and how larrikins figured in transnational discussions of street gangs, crime, education, urban life, colonialism, and modernity. He has co-authored a chapter on ‘Urbanization: Youth Gangs and Street Cultures’ in the Oxford Handbook of the History of Youth Culture (2021) and has an article, ‘Searching for larrikin*: using digitised newspapers to trace the transnational coverage of Australian street gangs, 1870-1898’ forthcoming in the Victorian Periodicals Review.
