This little blog article of mine has been up since end of July—it was so nice to be able to flex those drawing muscles again and engage creatively with Soloúp’s graphic novel ✏️ gc.fairead.net/blog
Huge thanks to all who attended the BARS 2025 Early Career and Postgraduates Conference! We had a wonderful time!
See you this Friday 12th Sept for the online portion of the conference!
It was lovely to meet you too and I hope we cross paths again soon— and all the best for your viva ✨💫
thank you so much! Really enjoyed yours too and yes, hopefully our paths will cross again ☺️✨
It was such a whirlwind! I hope we get a chance to chat sometime, maybe at big bars next year? ☺️ loved your presentation as well!
Likewise! Really looking forward to hearing/reading more about your research — I’m fascinated 🧡
And now home bound — Vienna calling.
Thanks so much to the organisers @womanofclouds.bsky.social + @cleoocy.bsky.social + @zooeyziller.bsky.social for setting it all up so beautifully! ✨
Had an amazing time at my first ever BARS conference @bars.bsky.social + @bars-ecrs-pgrs.bsky.social presenting on Cowper, botanical literatures and greenhouses at Trinity Hall, Cambridge 🌱✨ Brilliant people and brilliant papers giving me so much to think about! St John’s + Wren library were a treat
Jack Halberstam at the opening of @icgp.bsky.social yesterday! Beautifully organised and such a pleasure to attend - full house!
Your book project sounds fantastic! And what a great place to be researching at, congrats ✨
Went for a ‘quick run’ before my seminar and was so slow that I’m now running again to be on time for said seminar
That feeling when an idea/argument just won’t leave you alone. And so you know it’s going to be a new project.

One of the all-time great literary burns. We love you, Mrs Cadwallader

Letter from Doyle to Bram Stoker. My dear Bram SToker, I am sure you will not think it an impertinence if I write to tell you how very much I have enjoyed reading Dracula. I think it is the very best story of diablerie which I have read for many years etc.
Arthur Conan Doyle has one of the most delightfully legible handwriting styles of any 19thC writer. The letter below is to Bram Stoker, congratulating him on the publication of Dracula. Font people! Why has no-one made this into a font yet, like the Jane Austen font? #C19th
remembering when Homi Bhabha held the #SigmundFreud lecture in Vienna last October and my pen never left the paper in my notebook; ‘attention becomes a very important measure of time’. Still find myself ruminating on so much of what he said.
Really recommend this new small exhibition in Kew's Library Reading Room exploring shifts in the practices of 18 and 19C botany and how indigenous knowledge was used and acknowledged #BotanicalRevolutions #Archives #Kew
Conference programme now up here! Stay tuned for registration details sites.google.com/view/before-...
Also very thrilled this came hot off the press recently - our catalogue for this year’s international #JosephBinderAward for graphic design and illustration (designed by the collective so-super.com) ✨ wonderful time working with a fantastic team of editors and creatives!
Thank you so much @bars.bsky.social / @bars-ecrs-pgrs.bsky.social for a bursary to travel to Cambridge in Sep. So excited to be presenting on Cowper, Eco (Un)Consciousness and Botanical Literatures - and v much looking forward to hearing all the other papers! 🌱
Gonna open an Ishiguro salad restaurant called Romaines of the Day
Introducing my tiny greyhound Oona (who is actually a cat) to bluesky. She’s four years old, smaller than your average cat (she has issues with this) and loves to bask in sunshine on the windowsill, judging all passers-by. She’s dorky, toothless, and a frequent guest at cafés and vintage shops 🎠✨
The British Association for Romantic Studies @bars.bsky.social is committed to increasing diversity and inclusion within the field and is pleased to offer several bursaries to support delegates' attendance at the 2025 ECR & PGR Conference, 'Romantic (Un)Consciousness', in Cambridge.
oohhh that sounds so great! Can’t wait to hear 💫 I’ll be there too in Sep ☺️
Still waiting for Zukiswa Wanner’s The Madams to arrive from South Africa in my family’s suitcase (no chance of finding a non-kindle Version in Austria/Europe)
