Wondering in an idle moment what the AI fuss is about, I searched for a particular topic, only to find myself referred back to an article I had previously written. I'm the last person I should be seeking advice from.

Have Universities UK actually said anything yet, or are they just going to roll over and sigh a bit? One reason we are in this state is because Universities UK - which is supposed to defend the sector - have been utterly passive in the face of vandalism, and have often implicitly supported it.

At this week's wonderful @modernistudies.bsky.social Weird Modernisms, many of us have been preoccupied by the equally weird (& not so wonderful) news from Exeter. The news of 500 academics at risk of redundancy, 150 of whom will lose their jobs, 27% in the English Dept. 1 in 4. Think about that.

Something deeply troubling & shocking is happening at Exeter University*, where a mass cull of staff is planned, even though it's in surplus. No good justifications given. @jamesgdyke.info provides the details: www.technosphere.earth/the-bonfire-... *Disclosure: I have a Visiting Fellowship here. +🧵

The bonfire of the humanities

150 academic posts at the University of Exeter are to be cut, most in the humanities but also in social sciences, engineering and environmental sciences

It's almost time to celebrate all things weird and wonderful within the haunted landscapes of No Man's Land (aka Loughborough) @moderniststudies.bsky.social

Another inspiring day on Saturday, at the London Centre for Interdisciplinary Research's 'Somewhere in Between: Borders and Borderlands' conference.

Heaven forbid that a woman would feel the need to discuss anything other than fashion, house-planning or furniture.

A beautiful morning for @officialbaas.bsky.social day two. Hoping to power on through the post-lunch slump, when I'll be exploring the wreckage of war in the memories of American nurses.

Thank you to The Modernist Review for including my musings on flâneurie in Helen Zenna Smith, Virginia Woolf & Jean Rhys. Looking forward to July's BAMS/MSA Weird Modernisms conference, where I'll be exploring haunted landscapes & uncanny visions in No Man's Land. @modernistudies.bsky.social

Looking forward to July's joint annual conference of the British Association for Modernist Studies & Modernist Studies Association, where I will be delighting in 'Strange Hells — haunted landscapes and uncanny visions in No Man’s Land' @moderniststudies.bsky.social

As I wait for yet another delayed train, to then be told it is cancelled, I realise that I don't actually remember the last time I got a train that wasn't delayed, cancelled, or both. It appears that Virginia Woolf had similar train issues.

A brilliant, energising day hearing about all things Modernist @ #NWiMS & presenting my musings on liminality, landscapes & the flâneuse. I even - largely - managed to avoid my usual obsession with Mary Borden🤪 Thanks so much to the organisers & to all the other presenters. Here's to the next one 😊

Looking forward to listening to so many interesting papers, and to discussing the Modernist flâneuse at NWiMS 15 on Friday.

A pint of cider (Pina colada flavour, ooh la la!) to celebrate post-conference exhaustion 🍺😌

Looking forward to heading to Bristol for this year's PGR Arts conference Exchange and Transformation, where I shall be presenting a paper as part of tomorrow's Identity and Metamorphosis panel.

I really enjoyed December's NWiMS conference at UEA (hard to believe it was that long ago) and am really grateful to the lovely team at BAMS @modernistudies.bsky.social for allowing me to spread the word about the wonders of Mary Borden 💙

In the midst of war, one must keep up one's standards. In this instance, Mary Borden's shopping list included a suspender belt, skin tonic, moisturiser and face powder.

Letter from soldier to his fiancée, WW1: 'Whatever you do, don’t go in Munitions or anything in that line – just fill a Woman’s position and remain being a woman – don’t develop into one of those ‘things’ that are doing men’s work . . .
