my phd thesis The Literature House in the Post-Digital Age: Futures for Literary Heritage is now available online: https://t.co/ejlxTPU8AJ
in it, i think about literary heritage sites, and how they link with Edinburgh, houses, Henry James, the internet, failure - and more!

📚 | A special event at #EdNapier's Craiglockhart campus has marked the 20th anniversary of Edinburgh becoming the world’s first UNESCO City of Literature.

Hosted by @ENUCAMC and @TourismENU, the lunch event formed part of a week-long celebration programme, led by @EdinCityofLit, to mark the milestone.

We now have a nice empty case in the museum, all ready for a certain white shirt last seem emerging from a lake c.1995. Coming 25th May

a perfect bit of academic writing i came across the other day

[Monica Callaghan @MonicaCallagha1]

Amazing few days @Hospitalfield in Arbroath, with equally amazing @sgsah doctoral researchers on a writing retreat.

i don’t care if it’s played out. i still think it’s fun to go see a double feature of two icons who defined modernity in different ways. and all you have to do to get from marx’s tomb to freud’s house is walk across hampstead heath

[Cate Schofield @cateatthemuseum]

this is a plea for people to think before ‘informing’ postgrads that everything is horrible, with no further nuance or specific protest.

[Cate Schofield @cateatthemuseum]

there’s a real normalisation of doom in academia, particularly around jobs, which i understand responds to the situation, but feels unhealthy and irresponsible. the way people frame sentiments which essentially boil down to ‘abandon all hope’ as advice to phd students is so grim.

[Cate Schofield @cateatthemuseum]

personally, i’ve been slowly freaking out for weeks because of one ‘advice’ tweet which i can’t shake. it was nothing i didn’t already know, but has actually made doing my phd work harder. what was the point? what was the need? it’s too late for me to not be doing a phd.

[Cate Schofield @cateatthemuseum]

An exciting milestone last week - I attended the first in-person conference of my PhD: @ArchitectureMPS Heritages! It was so great to be in Prague, a City of Literature, speaking about what makes a city literary

[Cate Schofield @cateatthemuseum]

oh there’s definitely at least a thousand words that i could spend on this plaque alone

coming off a day of wrestling with defining heritage sites and then hearing margot robbie describe the barbie dreamhouse (set?) as one?! i’m validated, rejuvenated, thinking…

While the Tudor manorhouse itself is currently contained within a vast scaffolding tent for works to repair its slate roof, I love how it is being handled: huge artworks on the outside, and a viewing platform within the tent that puts you up among the chimneys.

i signed up to a couple of poetry email lists recently, which is a deeply weird way to experience poetry (brief, contextless, strangely transitory given email is an archive) but it’s also making me remember that my favourite poetry is that which i barely grasp anyway

[Cate Schofield @cateatthemuseum]

the NPL is using the world’s teeniest space to put together some of the most uniquely cool literary heritage exhibitions happening atm. i loved stumbling across poetry games a few months ago
