I was so happy to be a part of this series! If you're into science fiction and/or fantasy, check out the recordings of all their panels. Listen to artists explore different kinds of SFF media + themes, then read the academic responses to the conversations (including mine below!)
Dr Parinita Shetty's (@wildpyjamas) academic response to our third event "Representations of Social Issues in SFF Worlds and Narratives" is here! Read "Restorying Imaginations with Multimodal SFF and Fan Counternarratives" here:

It was SUCH an honour to receive the UKLA 2023 student research award for my PhD thesis at their international conference last week. Huge thanks to @LucyTaylor70 for nominating me and to @The_UKLA for all the kind words about my work + offering me the time & space to share it.

I completely forgot to share my actual favourite photo (courtesy @ILoveCopyright ). My award lasted intact through dinner + dessert. Then there was a mysterious CRASH under the table & I instantly knew what had happened. Everyone felt SO bad & I couldn't stop laughing. Typical.
