It's #PublicationDay and I'm so excited to see Confinement going out into the world! It's been a labour of love (pun intended) and I'm very grateful to all those who have helped along the way - and those who have already said lovely things about it!

So this is quite nice... Just spotted that my 'online first' publication in Medical Humanities sits alongside a paper from the wonderful @JessJCox, who supervised my UG dissertation way back in 2010. What a funny ol' world it is!

[Jess Cox @JessJCox]

@RobotTheory Love this! Congrats on the article!

This Saturday, we will pause to reflect on a year since the passing of @BZephaniah, our beloved Professor of Creative Writing.

When asked about his legacy, he simply said: "love". We honour that and extend our thoughts and love to all who feel his loss most deeply. 🤍🙏
