'When will the government... take #EatingDisorders seriously?'.

A brilliant piece that brings new perspectives from the #Auschwitz archive on a forgotten subcamp and the women of Convoy 31000 (and on Charlotte Delbo) by Languages, Literatures & Cultures @ Royal Holloway's Kate Ferry-Swainson. Complete with Kate's brilliant photography!

A brilliant piece, complete with Kate Ferry-Swainson's own extraordinary photos.

Three amazing women talking about amazing writing!

This is no surprise, but great news! Judith Heneghan's brilliant Birdeye is Salt Books's 2024 best seller! This novel apparently quietly takes you somewhere extraordinary and has you stay there, a long time after reading; has you savouring the prose yet devouring the story.

Eating disorders do not discriminate based on gender! We delved into this topic with Danny, our Eating Disorder Psychotherapist, and discussed the unique challenges and struggles that boys and men face when dealing with eating disorders. #MensHealthWeek #MaleSupport

What a fantastic article in the The Conversation, Kate Ferry-Swainson! The photos are particularly poignant: Charlotte Delbo and the women of Convoy 31000 Department of English at Royal Holloway RHUL Holocaust Research Institute theconversation.com/charlotte-delb…

I'll be sorry to miss this! I can absolutely imagine Birdeye as a film. I've never been to the Catskills (or the Hampstead Bathing Ponds) but they're so vividly written I really want to visit both. I'll be a runner for free (or for pancakes) on set, Judith Heneghan!
