Grim, rage-inducing news from Bbk; I did my PhD in the amazing English Dept and Birkbeck C19 Studies; it made me everything I am as a scholar because of the inspiring community there. Solidarity. ✊✊

Birkbeck is an institution that has delivered radical education for nearly 200 years. Birkbeck is an institution with brilliant, committed and passionate staff across all its subjects areas. But mostly, Birkbeck is our students and their incredible stories thebookseller.com/comment/a-nati…

Looking forward to workshop today, 'Exeter on Screen: Projecting and Picturing Place' at Positive Light Projects, funded by Economic and Social Research Council. Playing with magic lantern and camera obscura to think about depictions of place.
