Very happy to share my latest @womenslibrary.bsky.social blog! I talk about the current GWL exhibition, which is on until the 26th September - check it out! But first, of course, read my blog...😉https://womenslibrary.org.uk/2026/07/16/connections-reflections-and-creativity-gwls-latest-exhibition/

Instead of charging about like usual screaming his head off (I try to remind him that he's an ambush predator...) Violo is in the shade, enjoying the fresh air. I have several papers to practice and other work to do but who am I to get in the way of his royal highness' exercise?

A real pleasure to have a review I wrote featured in the latest History of Universities! Getting a physical copy and seeing my name is a nice feeling 😁

My latest @womenslibrary.bsky.social blog is up! I had the privilege of reviewing Sara Ahmed's new book 'No is Not a Lonely Utterance'. It was an amazing read, check out my thoughts here: womenslibrary.org.uk/2025/10/02/n...

No is Not a Lonely Utterance by Sara Ahmed: a review | Glasgow Women's Library
I normally read very quickly. This has always been a source of pride, and I will admit to being smug on more than one occasion when someone has asked incredulously, ‘You’ve read that already?’.

Loved chairing the first panel of En-Gender's 2025 conference, about pedagogies and resistance! We then had a great discussion which really opened up ideas around how to manage teaching and hierarchies 🤩 can't wait to hear more over the next three days! 😁 #EnGender2025

Our first few scenes have properly come together! Ashley says "This week we developed more of the play, thinking about how initial introductions of the characters would develop. We played around with vulnerability and how to portray this in an engaging but realistic way."
