Flying home from my incredible research trip (&holiday) in Kenya. It was such an incredible experience, and I'm so grateful to @SWWDTP for funding my trip. The @artsuon Mau Mau conference was excellent and it was a pleasure to meet so many brilliant researchers.
A blustery Sunday volunteering at Butser Ancient Farmβs first book festival as part of my @SWWDTP placement . Poetry and historic fiction in a Saxon mead hall around a warming fire.
Welcome! π
We're excited to be at the picturesque @BathAtWork welcoming our newest cohort of SWWDTP students - fantastic to finally meet you all!
Looking forward to the next 2 days of discussions π
As usual, I am horribly late, but it was a pleasure to present my paper on Renata ViganΓ²'s 'L'Agnese va a morire' at the @cultural_memory conference in Ghent last week. Thanks to the organisers for a wonderful two days and to the @SWWDTP for getting me there π
Better late than never. A couple of months ago, I had the pleasure of presenting on a joint panel with some lovely people at the European Network for Philosophy and the Social Sciences (ENPOSS) in Bergen.
A big thanks to @SWWDTP and the organisers.
