She’s arrived! 🎉 I’ve been working on this poetry collection for nearly eight years. How surreal to finally hold it, see it here, in my house. I’m so grateful to everyone who has helped make this happen 🧡

Really pleased to see the entry on Maritime Literature that I co-authored with Laurence Publicover out with Oxford Bibliographies. It was a pleasure to write about so many great pieces of #bluehumanities scholarship!

Are you thinking about your @TheBSLS conference proposals? If so, @HarrietTho and I are looking for a third panellist interested in electrical technologies (broadly), periodicals (broadly), and archives (broadly). We'd love to propose a transhistorical panel. #litsci #ecrchat

A brilliant statement, but if English is to continue flourish we need students to opt for it at A-level and University; we need parents, and careers advisers to realise that there are brilliant career choices for English graduates, and that it is a powerful, profound subject
A superb statement from a @BirkbeckUoL student about why English courses must be protected! A manifesto around which all of us should unite. This is about the health of the nation and our culture in the broadest sense!
