💥 I’m excited to share my Informal Guide to Archival Research📜📚 1/ As a first-time archival researcher, it took me a long time to learn how archives actually work. Not because archivists weren't helpful (they are amazing!!!), but because it involved a skill set that I had never been trained in.

Today I attended a group reading of Emerson’s Divinity School Address in the very room where it was delivered. Very special!

Spoke with a peer today about the psychological hurdles of writing when you’re a woman / first-gen / not a quick writer— and suddenly, my motivation is back and I am writing. Crazy what mutual support and normalizing challenges can do to our work #virtouscycle #feministacademia

Is employability the key reason to study the humanities? No. But does the data hold up the much repeated assertion that UK humanities degrees are “low value” & don’t lead to good employment rates? Absolutely no. Do we need to shout this one from the rooftops these days? I’d say YES.
