Been sitting on this one for a while but my first publication (in a non-peer reviewed journal) is out! I talk about the South Korean webtoon Delusion and what happens when Dracula goes to Shanghai instead of London.
Many thanks to @qaqv.bsky.social for giving my very niche topic a platform!

How does one teach classical history in a country where Classics doesn’t exist? Beats me. That’s why I invited Dr Daniel Jew to talk about his experiences teaching at NUS (aka my alma mater).

The @crsn-uk.bsky.social and @ics.bsky.social #classicalreception series comes full circle on 15 June with Nuraliah Norasid talking about #Medusa, videogames and Malay identity in her #SingLit novel The Gatekeeper. This one hits different: the novel inspired my entire thesis.
