Enjoyed speaking to @katespowage.bsky.social for @r-williams-soc.bsky.social a few weeks ago. Essential reading on the state's 'trial and error' approach to governance, and the ways ordinary ways people can and do challenge the status quo. 27 min. read for your lunch break... 🥯🥗☕

I had the best evening celebrating my brilliant pal @tothhayley.bsky.social at the launch of her book, Reading Postcolonial Literature. In it, she explores reading contemporary reading communities, critically engaging with both 'professional' and 'amateur' readers. And it's open access!

Thanks to my publisher LUP (what a rockstar team - can highly recommend to ECRs), to colleagues at Leeds, Oxford, Newcastle who instrumentally shaped the development of this book, and to friends for helping me forget about it at various stages of writing.
