Sunshiny walk at Sharphill Woods.
Please join us. Lots of tips for teaching sustainability.
My experience is that this model results in old, white men getting all the research time while young women and scholars of colour end up being pushed into the teaching-heavy roles.
So proud of my sustainable world students for taking risks and articulating deep thoughts well.
A healthy looking fox ran through my garden on a suburban street at lunchtime today.
The next post, on the UK's shameful For Women Scotland Supreme Court decision on defining the word 'female' to exclude trans women.
I'm actually proudest of this, because I think it sets out clearly the EU law counter-position to the UK SC's bad reasoning.

It turns out that Whitman's 'The Dalliance of Eagles' maintains the power to astonish -- among my students this morning.
Edinburgh UP is offering 50 percent off all books including my New Perspectives on Mary E. Wilkins Freeman co-edited with Myrto Drizou and Cecile Roudeau for St. Andrews Day! Sale ends Monday.
'Beyond the marshes which Doris must cross there were great drifts of bleached white sand, as if the ghosts of the night had transformed the world to their color, and it had hardly regained its own again.' Sarah Orne Jewett, A Marsh Island.

The front cover to Mary E. Wilkins’s The Wind in the Rose-Bush (1903). The cover is light green with a winding rose bush pattern at the top under the title.
For day 18 of #31days31books we have Mary E. Wilkins’s The Wind in the Rose-Bush (1903). The book is extra special because it includes illustrations for the supernatural stories.
An excellent essay collection on transnational approaches to regionalism just published open access with Radboud University Press. Not one but two essays on Freeman! It was a pleasure to work with these editors. books.radbouduniversitypress.nl/index.php/ru...
Oh, 81%, eh? And I wonder what percentage it would be refusing care from medical workers who hadn't been born here.
Roundtable first page
Great roundtable on ghost stories by Wharton, Freeman, and Stowe in the latest _Edith Wharton Review_.
Routledge / Taylor and Francis and yes, it was back in 2019.
At least you were asked. My work was just given without my permission by the publisher.
Thought so but situation is that non RG are chasing skills and employability rhetoric.
Don't blame the crisis on poor marketing decisions by non RG unis though.

Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy “@Hersheys just pledged to eliminate synthetic dyes from its candy by the end of 2027. I call on all other companies to follow their lead and help Make America Healthy Again.” Bloomberg Hershey to Remove Synthetic Dyes From its Snacks by End of 2027 June 30, 2025 | Kristina Peterson
Tens of thousands of Americans will have died (literally) from Medicaid cuts by the time Hersheys removes nontoxic synthetic dyes from their high-calorie, low-nutrition candies
Please don’t lump me in with the IDF, that seems kinda antisemitic
These huge cars are vastly more dangerous, kill far more children, as they're higher at the front. They should have their own much lower speed limit in towns; and higher tax. Parking should be charged as for vans, they're larger than normal spaces. It's bizarre that they're treated as cars.
Absolutely thrilled to see this excellent piece by our MA graduate and now PhD student, Nada Saadaoui, on walking as a form of resistance for Jane Austen and her heroines, published in ‘The Conversation’ today: theconversation.com/for-jane-aus...
So glad you care about hanging indents and page numbers too. I thought I was the only one.
Because gen AI doesn't include them, nor do spark notes type websites which feature significant quotes.
Foxgloves are blooming in Nottingham
"I do not need to be Bandanese to understand what Gunung Api means to the islanders, just as I do not need to be Greek to be moved by the Iliad." - Amitav Ghosh. I'm moved by his rejection of ecofascist arguments for protecting only one's own nation's nature.
