I’m at the airport en route to #EABSBL, so it feels like the perfect time to send a copy of my book, Reimaging the Magdalene, on a journey too!

💛 like and 🔁 RT and I’ll draw a winner on the feast of Mary Mag (22/07, heathens)

Let’s see where it ends up…

I’m very happy to share that my book ‘Reimaging the Magdalene: Feminism, Art, and the Counter-Reformation’ is now available to buy at all good booksellers (and the dodgy ones too).

When I talk to students about Jephthah, we’re all a bit baffled about his idiocy 😂 that’s interesting about the vow! it wouldn’t surprise me, and I love these depictions of Jephthah in films, thank you so much for sharing, I will definitely be using them in future presentations☺️

It's great to see this event expanded to include those in theology and religious studies, not just biblical studies. This has always been an excellent event and I've received some of the most robust and useful feedback here.

Next week I get to share a bit of my book by presenting on #twilight, @sandiegocomic-con.bsky.social and 1 Clement in Glasgow. Looking forward to good times with @garrickvallen.bsky.social and @kelsbot.bsky.social
in the past the research seminars have been hybrid, I’m assuming this semester it will be the same @garrickvallen.bsky.social?
marking my last exam from December and this student has used both Taylor Swift and Maisie Peters in their answer and made it relevant to the question (which I assigned) and I just feel like a proud mother 🥹
haven’t spoken about my research for a long while because ~mental health~ but I’m really looking forward to this!
