Excited to be talking at @ihr.bsky.social Women's History seminar tonight about how disabled women's economic lives can help reframe ideas of enterprise & self employment.

New on the blog today, I've written about some of my favourite COMING-OF-AGE NOVELS from the shelves.
Featuring books by Rumer Godden, Jean Rhys, L. P. Hartley and more! #BookSky 💙📚

We missed the anniversary of Forster's death back on the 7th June - but someone else returned a long-lost piece of Forster-related ephemera just in time for it...
Good news! Ministers have finally given green light to new #NaturalHistory GCSE. We’ve campaigned so long for this! Big hats off to tireless advocate Mary Colwell 🙌 Now our young people will have a chance to get to know & love the natural world, to feel awe & wonder, & gain skills to protect it 🌷🌳🦡
Happy launch day to @patrickfreyne.bsky.social's Experts in a Dying Field. If you like music you’ll adore it, but it’s not really about bands or music, but weaves through friendship, people who matter, paths not taken, fate, getting older. Moving and very funny. “Bastard Deodorant. For Bastards!”
Come along do!

To try and spark my students' interests in reading (ANYTHING), I made a point of bringing the fiction book I was reading into class every week and talking about it briefly.
Anyway a student just emailed me to ask me for reading recs for fiction for the summer.
You guys: it's happening!!!
