I loved hosting these workshops. Each time I've learned so much just being able to have the space and time to talk to others about their experiences researching, teaching, and curating hidden histories. Thanks to all who took part 💜 if the funding gods are kind, we'll be back 🤞

#Reviewer2 strikes again. Why would a journal forward on inappropriate comments which were WRITTEN IN ALL CAPS.
It is tough enough getting a review back without being shouted at through email

It was a lovely turnout for my talk about my book, but also all the other things which have sprouted from it. An engaging and fun audience of scholars and students from all levels, having such a mix really made it interesting.
Thanks again to @EastCentreUea for inviting me 🙂

The academic job market is tough and senior scholars need to do more to help their junior colleagues. Please consider tweeting more while drinking.
