Studying the Victorian connection between women and birds is great fun, but I’d love a job. Network & Development Officer for VPFA and Co-Reviews Editor for VPFJ. All views my own.
For someone who has studied the 1880s a lot in the context of the RSPB and feather fashion, I am so out of touch with fin-de-siècle and Decadence 😭

Loved this roundtable with Claudia, Mariaconcetta, Helena, and Julia! “‘Gendered Narratives of The Easts’: Research Methods and Pedagogical Applications” left me with a lot to think about. Thank you so much! #BAVS2026

How do we think about measuring impact? Social media can actually be a really useful tool (she says, writing on BlueSky 🤣)! Really enjoying hearing from Mary Shannon and Bob Nicholson about public engagement! #BAVS2026

Listening to Clare, Claudia, and Sarah talk about pathways to readership and professorship, and I feel like there’s so much good info here for PGRs and ECRs as well. Already thinking of new VPFA professional development panels! #BAVS2026

Fascinating workshop on the Curran Index led by @vicmanch.bsky.social. This is a fab list of resources. I think it opens up conversations about accessibility and how we can make resources more affordable/accessible to larger audiences as well!

There’s something so satisfying about seeing a pretty presentation slide 🤣 If you’re undecided on which panel to attend this morning, might I suggest Panel 3E? 🥰 #RSVP26 #PrintInMotion

Anelise: famine reporting was 'out of time' in that a story is not published immediately, rather it is withheld until it is politically useful, according to the agenda of a particular newspaper.

I would love to attend lectures from all of the three panellists I’ve just listened to at #RSVP26: Laurel Brake, Anelise Hanson Shrout, and Anne-Marie Millim. I took a ridiculous amount of notes and can’t wait to mull over these ideas tonight. #PrintInMotion

Pre #RSVP tomorrow, I took a Book of Kells tour (and saw Gaia!) and did a sunset bus tour of Dublin. So ready for the conference to start! #PrintInMotion

Can you imagine trying to de-anonymise 22 Victorian sensation novels? Because Janine Hatter can! What an amazing project 😱 #VPFAPublics

@andrewkingc19.bsky.social talking about how Victorians marketed Pop Fiction - and I’m very excited to learn more about Victorian marketing, particularly design and product placement! Makes me think of my trawling through Punch for crumbs of context! #VPFAPublics

Starstruck 🤩 Got to meet one of my academic heroes today and hear her amazing keynote on sex work and care work in Victorian Pop Fiction. How can we be more caring and sympathetic in our community social care systems? #VPFAPublics @tara-macdonald.bsky.social

A thing I remember every time I interact with them is that librarians and archivists should be making one million dollars per year.
