On my way to Leeds IMC, but still thinking back to the Revoicing Medieval Poetry workshop at IONA - a chance to reflect collaboratively on the creative & critical work of translation & possible future forms. Great to think w/ @Anhaga9 @Anna_Burnett @James_A_Paz & others

"We are working with museums to be bold and brave in raising awareness, championing change and embedding climate action." on the @MuseumsAssoc own page on 'Museums for Climate Justice' - maybe a little hypocritical??

@EKNuding @lancaster_words Congrats, Emma!!!

They scream "STEM only" because they're aware that subjects that are powerfully designed to cause one to think critically & creatively (Arts & Humanities; social sciences) is a HUGE threat to oppressive powers. Don't be fooled to think they truly believe these degrees are useless

Academia has lost an intolerable number of colleagues, & yet we carry on like nothing is happening.

Ahead of our #Imc2024 panel on Medievalism's Marginalized Makers, I'm enjoying this eg of women's contribution to medievalism by Genevieve Pilley, illuminator and 'assistant' at the Ruskin Museum c. 1898, on display at the Millennium Gallery in #Sheffield

The Conservative Party has announced a plan to shut down university courses based partly on "future earnings potential”.

1 in 8 students could see their course closed, with funding diverted to apprenticeships.

We’re concerned about the implications for arts education.
