I open up a Word document labeled "Draft2" and crack my knuckles. I write one sentence and add a footnote that says, simply, eloquently, "ADD REFERENCE". I am a Scholar™️.

- I also wrote the Welsh pronunciation guide included in Miranda Aldhouse-Green's book about Welsh mythology, Enchanted Wales, published by Calon Press. Now you too can pronounce 'Pwyll' and 'Efnisien'!

Wondering what PhD students do on a Friday morning? We’ve been so overwhelmed by the positive response to this (and had a good laugh over some men’s comments), it’s amazing to see women supporting women in academia 🤍

Please consider contributing to a consultation on removing restrictions placed on Ancient History graduates from entering History teacher training in Scotland!

I've lobbied for c.2yrs on this, and it partly comes from my own frustration at being ineligible as an AH grad in 2007!
