Ever received a handwritten letter from Pakistan? Neither had I -- until last week! Read my latest blog post where I fumble through Urdu script and discover the enduring charm of snail mail in our digital duniya.

Such a fascinating book, @sabaimtiaz.bsky.social It wasn’t easy getting hold of it in the UK, but so worth it!
📚 Last summer, I got a GCSE in Urdu. I'm now pursuing an A-level thanks to a brilliant novel on the Edexcel syllabus: Khadija Mastur’s Aangan (Courtyard). Read my latest column to learn more about its characters, feminist ideas, and why it’s a must-read. 🌍✍️ @shreedaisy.bsky.social

It's a monograph called Decolonizing Disease: Pandemics, Public Health and Decoronial Writing for Liverpool University Press
It's a new year's resolution to post on Bluesky more than my zero posts of 2024. In my defence, I've been finishing a book. In my prosecution, I'm not very good at social media. Anyway, hello world 👋
Since the discussion about whether we should listen to politicians and pundits we don’t agree with seems to be happening again, I cannot emphasise enough how I’m not here for a bracing ideological workout. If I want to challenge my own ideas, I read serious journalism or books.
Super helpful “Researcher’s Guide to Bluesky” by one of my brilliant colleagues who works at the University of York Library 👇
Delighted to share that my other institutional home, the University of York’s Centre for Eighteenth Century Studies, is now also on BlueSky. #c18th #interdisciplinarity
