Content Warnings for domestic abuse and gender-based violence in the Middle Ages... the book is out with @penswordbooks this Autumn.
@AnthemPress "Hirst's examination of depictions of death-in-life as a means of negotiating ideas around eternal punishment and individual freedom ... is especially engaging and presents an original take on a well-worn topic." That's 1 aspect, the book itself is new & exciting scholarship

After 5 years of lecturing at Swansea and Durham, I’m officially unemployed from October.
Two amazing jobs + a career I’m not ready to give up on yet.
Does anyone have 1) advice to maintain my employment prospects, or 2) any leads on possible opportunities?

Amazing what #archaeology can do! We ❤️ the rising #IronAge roundhouse feature of #HiddenHillfort Heritage Centre! A new landmark for the future made possible by and for an amazing community. All through partnership thanks to @elycaerau @CAERHeritage@HeritageFundCYM ⛏️👏
Breaking my hiatus on this account to say that I have had to back out of #IMC2021 and my paper I think will be read out in the Weds a.m. slot. Had 2 family members in hospital this week and should have both home by later today! Hope it goes well for everyone.
@Zer0Minute@rsociety_iii Yep!
Fun fact: The la Zouches were connected to the Cantilupe family already by marriage in the late 13thC and had already inherited a huge amount from the Cantilupe estate when George died 1272 without issue.
We received wonderful feedback today!
"I would highly recommend these courses. It led to my degree, a postgraduate diploma & a masters, all at Cardiff.
The tutor was inspiring & so supportive, having that belief in me & my abilities made those steps possible."
I've seen a lot of people weighing in on this in lots of ways, but here's my story. No, I don't agree we should set aside confidentiality rules if a student is struggling. Here's why: 1/n
That man in the WSJ claiming his not using the title Dr (because HE DOES NOT HAVE A DOCTORATE, ONLY AN HONORARY ONE) justifies asking Dr Jill Biden to drop it bc of her MD is everyone's uncle who asks you why you're still at university. Fuck off.
Loved dropping in on @LearnCardiff@EtPPathway (EtP) ‘If these finds could talk‘ course taught by the fab @toothkate & meeting awesome adult learners & chatting @CAERHeritage & the power of community archaeology. Watch this vid to find out more @ EtP:

She's never taught online, has she? Never had to completely rework, refine and even rewrite materials that work fine in the classroom but don't seamlessly translate to an online context. Glad to be in Wales, in a supportive (fully online) department.
