Douglas Nightingale

Douglas Nightingale is a macroeconomist with a background in Economics, Gender and Sexuality Studies. He supports social and economic campaigners and spokespeople to cut through dominant economic narratives by translating economic jargon into clear key messages. He is a queer man from Manchester and is particularly interested in queer liberation, gender equality and economic equality.

His master's thesis was on settler homonationalism in queer Australia, focusing on how contemporary LGBTIQ campaigning can be complicit in the disavowel of Indigenous sovereignty.

He has volunteered with The Victorian Greens, Australian Progress, the LGBT Foundation and The Proud Trust. Doug is passionate about economic policies in Australia that are inclusive and equitable for everyone.
