A great piece with Willy Maley, whose influence on me was huge - a model of intellectual curiosity and of how those with more institutional power can use it to help those who have less.
This man was an important player in my life when I was 18 and encountering imposter syndrome in second year English Lit at Glasgow Uni. He’s taught many people how to read many stories over the years. He let me write some of his in today’s @heraldscotland. heraldscotland.com/news/2426…

A really interesting piece about Brian Dillon which thinks about the work of style.
For @NewLeftReview I wrote about the critic Brian Dillon, whose style inspired some thoughts on the subject: what style is, why it matters, how you get one...ending with the case for indulging in the occasional bang-average sentence newleftreview.org/sidecar/po…

A film I made with Erin Goeres about 1066! 'While modern political discourse often exploits the idea of 1066 as a struggle between England and Europe [...] this oversimplification ignores the complexities of the medieval period.' @UCL_EI @UCLSELCS youtu.be/QQF_czPXFH4
