@Lady_Electric There’s a small person who probably ought to have one please! (I think we’ve still got ours from #BSLS2019 somewhere, although granted not with us!)
You are Flora Seville. The year is 1887 and you are one of the first 28 students to enter the wondrous new institution, @RoyalHolloway College for Women.
How will your first day unfold?
Just remember to stay out of trouble and avoid being sent to the Principal's Office
I don’t yet know exactly how these changing feelings are going to manifest in my life or work, but #BSLS2019 has certainly made me more aware of them. Clare Brant’s call to arms at the end of her excellent plenary to ‘do what you can, do all you can’ really resonated: I will try!
Today’s #ModWrite is a #ModRecap, going over my notes from #BSLS2019 after a week’s leave. The Conference included brilliant #Modernist #LitSci papers by @chrgelder, @CleoHanaway and @CatrionaWL, among others - lots of food for thought to reflect on today... 🤔
Enjoyed our Global AI narrative panel @DrDihal @BVLSingler with great audiences asking us many provocative questions at #BSLS2019 @RoyalHolloway
With the brilliant #BSLS2019 behind me, I’m now looking forward to #FWat80 (https://t.co/IClAUu53K6). There’s just that small matter of finishing my paper... 📝 #amwriting #ModWrite #JamesJoyce
... their time and ideas at #BSLS2019. There were so many inspiring papers, conversations, and encounters with scholars both familiar and new to me. Thank you also for your reception of @LitSciPod. @DrCharlwood and I can’t wait to release our next episode (soon) ... 2/3
I had an absolutely phenomenal time at #BSLS2019, but am currently crashed out on the couch at home. Conferences are a great opportunity to renew your commitment to ideas, colleagues, and work; they are also quite intense / concentrated. Thank you to everyone who shared ... 1/2
Rounded off an inspiring and thought-provoking few days at #BSLS2019 with a walk in Windsor Great Park
Highlights of #BSLS2019: the asylum tunnels legend, the polar bear picture legend, kitchen club, aspics, seeing a baby deer, PLUS the papers (!!!) museums, epigraphs, gothic children’s lit, brontosaurus, Ron Swanson, and all of the eco-stuff 🌍 🦕 📚
Class and race inflections in Marie Stopes family planning materials. We can’t forget her eugenicist politics. #BSLS2019
@ProfARichardson showing again and again the relevance and importance of C19th literature to today’s political crises #BSLS2019
She links Galton and Malthus to the hostile environment that has targeted the Windrush generation. Who has the right to be passionate to be an individual to be a citizen? #BSLS2019
An expert blend of close reading, contextual materials (Victorian and contemporary), and personal anecdotes in @ProfARichardson’s keynote (with kids in tow, just a day after undergoing emergency surgery!). #BSLS2019 #hero #savetheNHS
@ProfARichardson: if nature > nurture, there is no consequence to the latest round of cuts to schools & social services.
Hardy’s novels embody Darwin’s letter to Galton: “I differ widely from you, as every year I come to attribute more & more to environment” (1875) #BSLS2019
“What are my books but one please against man’s inhumanity to man” (Hardy on his oeuvre).
Angelique places the logic of Malthus in contrast with the younger Jude’s lament, that they are “too meny”, and in parallel with the effects of austerity on poverity today. #BSLS2019
