Asst Prof of Marketing. I love: consumer culture theory, surveillance studies, caffeine, sociology of parenting/childhood, history podcasts, and pretty much all kinds of film. Posts are my views, not my employer's.

It's desperately sad reading the NYT and National Post articles about Bob Munsch. Like many Canadians, not only did I grow up with his books but I got to hear him tell stories live. Go hug your families, and read one of his books to your kids.

Are you a black Scot? (either a native Scot or settled Scot) Or do you have friends who are black scots? One of my phd students is doing research on black Scottish experiences and would love to interview you. If you're interested, could you drop me a message and I'll get some information to you.

Finally caught up with #Doctorwho, and I have FEELINGS. Love: The Rani, Conrad, the use of Old Who villains, and Ncuti Gatwa. Hate: constant deus ex machinas, and gaslight of audience. No, you bloody DIDN'T mention Poppy all those times. Show need to be paused for a few years.
