So sad to hear that the wonderful Dolly Parton has died. I saw her in concert around 2008 and she was magnificent! One of the most incredible performers I’ve ever seen - she held the crowd in the palm of her hand

Yesterday, in her all-staff talk our VC chose to highlight the recent election of 5 FBAs from the University of Exeter. She failed to point out that 4 of us (with many of our colleagues) have just been placed at risk of redundancy. #DefendExeterUni @exeterucu.bsky.social

I just saw a meme that said “get in losers, we’re reclaiming the emdash”. People. PEOPLE. Where are your STANDARDS? It CLEARLY should be “get in, losers — we’re reclaiming the em dash.”

Bad things happening back in Exeter. Bad things happening across the whole higher education sector in general, but this seems especially bad. As an Exeter science graduate I say we need these humanities departments. Vital work and excellent quality. If they're for the chop nothing is safe.

This is such a disappointing decision by Exeter: I was recommending them as a beacon of classics and the humanities to a would-be student only last week, because they have so many brilliant scholars doing great work. I hope they rethink.

Have you checked out For Nothing is Hidden yet? Read the introduction here on our blog: scmpress.hymnsam.co.uk/blog/conside... 20% off all orders this month - don't miss out!

An endorsement quote from Shelly Rambo, Professor of Theology, Boston University School of Theology. It reads: For Nothing is Hidden is a compelling and impressively cohesive volume examining the intersection of masculinities, trauma, and Christianity. Seeking to build on trauma theology, it exposes the infrastructure of patriarchal masculinity at the root of much religious harm. This volume will have wide appeal behind its focus on trauma and will be a welcome addition to courses focused on gender, violence, and Christian traditions.

Reform has defended Robert Kenyon and his deeply misogynistic comments saying it was just "locker room banter”. That's the "Trump defence." It's the one that says its "ok" to be a truly dreadful sexist wanker if you're with "the lads".

“Use AI to brainstorm but not to write.” “Use AI to help you outline but not to write.” These are commonly proposed as “ethical” ways for undergrad students to use AI, but I’m sorry, brainstorming & outlining are just as integral to writing as the actual construction of sentences.

Introducing the 1st title in our Studies in Trauma Theology series (ed @karenod.bsky.social): Assaulted Body, Assaulted Faith by Samantha G Smith. This work examines the intersection of trauma and theology at the lived experience of sexual violation. scmpress.hymnsam.co.uk/books/978033...

The strength of this book lies in its ability to connect abstract concepts with real, lived, and painful realities. Smith offers a grounded way of seeing, one that can help church leaders and caregivers understand how to approach, care for, and attend to those who have experienced violations of their bodies.
