I’ve never performed on a stage before, so I’d say @The_Globe is a hell of a theatrical debut 🤩 #GlobeHigherEd

one of my students got a macbeth tattoo after taking my course and said my classes are what made him fall in love with the play 😭😭😭😭

have had my first 'student emailing to ask if i can change a failing grade' email and BOY does the people-pleaser in me not like this!!

[kam 🏳️‍⚧️ @shakesqueerean]

nothing has ever made me less sure that i know how to spell basic words than grading my students' essays. someone tell me why i, a phd student, just had to google 'relevant' to make sure it's not spelled 'relevent'

genuinely so exciting to have a student share an interpretation of a character that i've never seen before!! and on week 1 of working with the text!!

so important that @badinfinity2 took time out in this book to remind us that there are other career paths available if academia doesn't work out

working on lecture prep and my first two lectures on macbeth are about sexual dysfunction and dismemberment. this teaching thing kinda rules.
