Looking forward to this year’s Dickens Day! I’ll be talking about time and vagrancy in my fave Dickens essay, “Night Walks” 🌙🕰️🥾

Consider submitting a proposal for next year's Anne Lister Society meeting! It is a truly wonderful, collegial conference.

Coming up this Friday! What a privilege to co-convene this Public Humanities symposium and showcase the amazing work of Northwestern graduate students. bit.ly/3UL5Kyw

Some days academia just feels right. Like when I get to wear my leech jar earrings while teaching about leech gatherers. Shoutout to William and Dorothy Wordsworth and to The Old Operating Theatre Museum & Herb Garret for making this possible.

That’s a wrap! Had a wonderful whirlwind of a time at The Anne Lister Society conference this weekend. So energized by the amazing work of this scholarly community (too many to tag) that I barely noticed the jet lag!

I now use Zotero for citations and reading/annotating PDFs and taking notes on all sources. This has improved my life significantly. It could improve yours too. No, I am not sponsored by Zotero. (yet) #AcademicChatter

Constantly buying fast fashion is unsustainable. It’s time to normalise more eco-friendly lifestyles, such as wearing the same tattered wedding dress every day while sitting in a crumbling manor plotting revenge.
