Teachers: are conspiracy theories a problem in school? Do you hear your students discussing them? If so does it concern you? Do they come up in class? Have you had any training or resources to discuss conspiracies with students? Whatever your experiences I’d love to hear from you

This afternoon I’ve been re-reading ‘Studying Fiction’, a book I wrote with @DrofletJess a few years ago. We ended with this coda/set of reflections-interesting given recent discussions on here around RfP, ‘literary merit’, and so on. @BarbaraBleiman @NATEfeed @Team_English1

[Dr. Jess Mason @DrofletJess]

Slightly longer than my usual commute today, just nipping off to Belfast to give this talk on the stylistics of intertextuality this afternoon!

[Marcello Giovanelli @mmgiovanelli]

[Dr Chloe Harrison @ChloeELHarrison]

Excited to have a couple of research publications already in the pipeline for 2023😁

1. '99 Ways to Retell a Story' (forthcoming with Style)

[Prof. Lesley Jeffries @lesley_jeffries]

Today's the day...leaving Huddersfield after 33 years. Mixed feelings given recent events, but so grateful for the brilliant colleagues I've worked with there and beyond. The work isn't over yet so if you want to find out what I'm upto, you can go to https://t.co/VxruHt8Vod 1/2

[SHU Stylistics @SHU_Stylistics]

The @HuddLinguistics department is an international centre of research excellence, not least in stylistics. The cuts to Arts & Humanities programmes nationally - Huddersfield, Wolverhampton, Roehampton - is devastating. We stand in solidarity with all these colleagues.

Such lovely praise for our book! Thanks @EmmaSto85885160 - we’re so glad you found it useful!! #TeamEnglish

[Emma Stott @EmmaSto85885160]

Taken advantage of a weekend free of Y11 tasks to finish this extremely inspiring book by @DrofletJess and @mmgiovanelli : https://t.co/MPH3ZTeNQf I recommend not just to teachers but to anyone who cares about language and literature. Thank you for giving me much to think about.

[Exploring English Education @ExploringEngEd]

Any advice for Abbie on what makes a good blog for teachers? What are your dos and don’ts??

[Dr Chloe Harrison @ChloeELHarrison]

Really chuffed to be in this excellent collection on Pedagogical Stylistics (edited by Sonia Zyngier and Greg Watson)!

[Dr. Jess Mason @DrofletJess]

So excited for this talk from @ChloeELHarrison at 3.30 today! Still time to register here: https://t.co/yiH1Go3Tqg
