It's happened! We launched our new site @ags_tweets yesterday. Go check it out: https://t.co/69dQf7kawC. It will always be a work in progress, but we have started by launching our pre-1500, 1750-1850 and post-2000 pages. Get in touch if you have ideas, feedback, critiques!
Last month, at the Michigan #EmoSex conference, I said a few words about the friction between gender and sexuality studies, and also my thoughts about a "trans method." Maybe you'd like to read them, too.

Our CfP for 'Artistic Residency: A Conference to Mark the 50th Anniversary of the Anwerbestopp' is out: https://t.co/yRcoEWxy59 Come join us to explore the cultural political implications of ‘residency'!
Really great event! Took lots from it about creating a space where we can talk about disabilities in the classroom and make sure everyone is aware of the barriers and how to minimise their effects.
A phenomenal event! 3 first steps to make teaching more accessible 1) Formatting: Use a sans serif font, 1.5 line spacing and 12+ font size 2) Run materials through an accessibility check 3) Visit the classroom (& work with the building manager to get any necessary changes made)
CfP: “Cultural and linguistic #diversity in #German language education / Kulturelle und sprachliche #Diversit��t im #DaF-Unterricht” - delighted to be hosting this @CentreCelt @LCSLeeds with @JudithE_harter. Send us your proposals here: https://t.co/CGFmFbImcg
