@RUGEnglish had a great set up where I prerecorded the lecture and the scheduled hour for the lecture became a Q&A with the students about the content. Prerecorded lectures don’t have to be dead entities. This headline is also, as people have commented, so misleading.

Interesting interview with @RUGEnglish alum Anne-Mette Hermans @MetteHermans (my first student assistant, now lecturer at Erasmus Uni R'dam) about her research into the self-presentation of the cosmetic surgery industry. (Unfortunately paywalled though.)

This also means my time at @RUGEnglish is very sadly coming to an end - I can only recommend them absolutely wholeheartedly. What a kind, academically rigorous, supportive community there is at Groningen.

Another thrilling hour reading Sir Gawain and the Green Knight at @RUGEnglish ! Enjoyed reading the description of the "big green ogre" entering the court. (Un)fortunately, in this day and age, that kind of description only invites Shrek comments
