Every year on #Halloween we like to carve a #pumpkin from our collection of Penguin 60s. 🎃🔪 We're up to our elbows in juicy plots and seedy characters, but luckily there's not much pulp fiction. 🎃📚
Sutton Trust says 43% of journalists in UK news media were privately educated. We're all talking about VAT on private education because too many people determining our news agenda have a skewed view of privilege. This doesn't affect 93% of us. Talk about OUR schools.🧵
It's going to be another great year of #BeingHumanFestival events again in Wolves
What a delight to be back on #InOurTime. Hear @Tom_F_Wright discussing Louisa May Alcott’s Transcendentalist childhood, me on her Gothic writing, and the inimitable Bridget Bennett asking Melvyn Bragg which of the Little women he is? bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
It was a joy to work with @aberdeenuni PhD student @strutzenbladh on her fiction, which is based on the lives of medieval women in Aberdeen and the objects they owned. You can read five of her short stories here - they are little gems! 📚✍️ aberdeenregisters.org/2024/10/
My 5 Medieval Aberdeen stories are snapshots of lives, inspired by objects owned by women. I wrote them with the mentorship of @forthygreatpain, whose own work has so elegantly represented medieval women’s voices in fiction. My stories on display here: aberdeenregisters.org/2024/10/
See also Classical mythology, Arthurian mythology, Gilgamesh... when I'm asked about how I adapt medieval stories through a queer lens my usual thought is, 'adapt???!!!' It's just fabulously easy.
I get really sad/angry when I see academic job ads presenting themselves as great opportunities and it's short term and part time. Bonus if it is mid year or makes you miss the next hiring season by a month. Can we all stop pretending those are 'great' for precarious people?
Are you thinking of entering a script into our annual Open Call? Any questions? We are running a series of online Advice and Help events starting with an Inside Scoop webinar on Thu 31st Oct from 12.30 to 1.30pm. Register in advance for your free place. Find full details here…
So excited about this! I always come away inspired and having collected at least 5 new things to be geeky about.
The Middle Ages in the Modern World conference (MAMO) returns! 24-26 June 2025, London (King's College Strand Campus). Visit themamo.org for more details and see our Call For Papers below. All aspects of medievalism welcome.
Shout-out to every single University lecturer who teaches with excellence and passion and has no time for the kinds of research (broadly defined) which underpins 'thrilling' news I see you and applaud you ✨️👏✨️👏✨️👏
