It was a great pleasure to be part of the roundtable, ‘Weird Campuses: Modernism and the University’, at the BAMS/MSA Joint Conference at Loughborough University on 1 July. I'm still buzzing with conference excitement. #WeirdModernisms @modernistudies.bsky.social @moderniststudies.bsky.social

Delighted to present at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice last week. My presentation on Jean Rhys’s Good Morning, Midnight explores ageing and gender performativity by drawing on her RADA training. This feeds into my new project on cosmopolitan modernisms and overseas student experience.
