Merci beaucoup for hosting this fantastic event, Emilie!
What a delight it was to organise the Vernon Lee and the European Cultural Heritage conference in Paris these last two days! So many amazing people and wonderful encounters... such fantastic talks! It was an honour to organise this conference with Christophe Gelly and to meet so many great scholars.

One of the many small bits of writing I'm doing this month is academic essay on #NatureWriting and disability, but not working in academia now I feel out of the loop about new scholarly work in the area. I know @louisekenward.bsky.social is working on this area, but who else should I be aware of?
