So glad to be a @BirkbeckUoL student at this brilliant gathering at @BergenUib . Both universities have owls as their logos. That’s a good thing. Will be fantastic to meet other participants.

Apparently we were very lucky to see this pavement at Canterbury Cathedral, with the Cosmati mosaic and roundels showing the signs of the zodiac and labours of the months - we were told that it’s usually kept covered

i don't think all academics are driven by trauma. but academia attracts ppl who experienced school as a central space of validation, maybe the only place they were ever praised/"seen." also, academic accomplishments are wielded to counter parental neglect & societal debasement.

If I get my teaching sorted this morning, and my emails done after lunch, I'll hopefully have just enough time to complete my 3 years of unfinished writing

This is APPALLING. Deciding that English Lit degrees are “no longer viable in the current climate” is a disgrace - English Lit teaches empathy, communication & coherence of argument: what will you take from students by denying the opportunity to study it?

"The talkativeness of women has been gauged in comparison not with men but with silence. Women have not been judged on the grounds of whether they talk more than men, but of whether they talk more than silent women."

Being the first in your family to go to university is a huge deal - you have to break the news to them about academic publishing

A bit of a dream achieved. One day in the Lower Amazon and I have ringed a Hoatzin. These are one of the most primitive birds in the world that is considered as being a step away from the archaeopteryx.

This is amazing

[Dr Tom Horne @HorneSupremacy]

Our late friend Dr Ryan Foster's wonderful chapter in The Viking Age in Scotland (@VikingScotland) is still free to download, thanks to @EdinburghUP, but it won't be so forever, so I'd advise getting the pdf now 📚 ⬇️

Academics will have a 2 hour conversation about how busy they both are that ends in them agreeing to co-write something new
