What a week! 6 different classes, 4 of them new, meetings, writing deadlines (pending), organisational tasks (a conference, a workshop), and a day of travel to attend a thesis defence. Knackered, but also keenly aware of the privilege.

Went to London, found a bear! We will ignore that my train was cancelled (feels like DB, basically) because it's definitely not Paddington's fault. On my way to Exeter now (hopefully).

Today: writing a paper at the airport marking an essay on the plane writing a paper on Stansted Express reading a book on the Tube writing a paper on a train to Exeter. Tomorrow: conference day! #AcademicTravelling #ItinerantAcademic

One of the other conference delegates has described our hotel as giving serious 1990s cruise ship vibes (Traumschiff, for the Germans reading this), and she is spot-on. #ConferenceLife #ItinerantAcademic

I'm off to Würzburg for a guest lecture on "Unpopular Shakespeare" (in Kirsten Sandrock's class on Popular Shakespeare). Huge shoutout to @norajw.bsky.social, whose recent monograph on Canonical Misogyny will feature prominently!

On my way to the first ever #Anglistiktag (after the rebranding of Anglistentag last year). Looking forward! #ItinerantAcademic #ConferenceLife
