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.
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

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

The seagulls here are menaces - I saw one hiding behind a sculpture trying to stalk someone’s sandwich yesterday 🤣

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

@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 great reminder from Dr Jennifer Jones in her session on creating good writing habits this morning. I spend far too much time trying to have the ‘perfect’ first draft, which often results in unfinished projects. Reflecting on how I can ‘un-perfect’ my process at #VPFAPublics ✍🏻
