My final conference as a PhD student and a pleasure to be part of this panel on life-writing. Very grateful to @bsecs.bsky.social for a bursary which enabled me to attend.

Enjoyed this exhibition very much this afternoon!

It was the final research trip of my PhD to the Birthplace Museum in Lichfield today. So grateful for this CDA partnership (and for an unexpected find in the archive!). #phdlife

At the NWCDTP conference in beautiful Keele Hall library today. Looking forward to presenting on Anna Seward later.

My Anna Seward workshops have concluded. It’s been a pleasure to share Seward’s archive with such enthusiastic audiences!

I held the first of three workshops on Anna Seward at the Johnson Birthplace Museum in Lichfield today. Researchers from Keele, Birmingham, and Liverpool explored Seward’s identities as a reader, writer, and correspondent using museum collections, and we visited her new plaque!

Home after my first ever in-person @bsecs.bsky.social conference (and first trip to Oxford!). A pleasure to be on this panel on female writers.

Short but sweet trip to Cambridge for more Seward letters (what else?)

It’s the end of the first week of my Houghton library fellowship. Having the best time! 📚🇺🇸

Home after the best four weeks at Chawton. This time to work on my new chapter has been invaluable.
