#SMAANZ2024 dinner 🥂
I spend the evening mostly running around the room and hugging people I don’t get to see that often and asking for selfies and trying not to cry when saying goodbye. It’s a good time ✨

I dont think I have ever been this quiet on socials during a conference. Maybe a good sign that the networking and conversations are in full swing!
Although my digital voice is quiet, my "real" voice is very worn.

Was a little nervous to bring a different style of paper to #SMAANZ2024 this year and reflect on the fan engagement implications from the growing sports romance novel genre. But everyone was so supportive 💖 Better do some more romance reading for ‘research’ 😉

Last conference presentation as a PhD student ✅ it’s bittersweet but when I can talk about sport in Aotearoa you know I’m there :) this one’s for the community, the research & sport whānau who are part of the village. Also on brand: too much info, not enough time 😂 #SMAANZ2024
Off to #SMAANZ2024 today to talk about sports romance fiction 📚💖🫶
Excited to share my research passion for this space as a site for diverse fan engagement that is also just very fun!
And reading sports romance fiction for research? Best. Data. Collection. Ever!
When you finally see the scenes you have been pumping in your promo materials for the last 12 months 😮💨😮💨
#SMAANZ2024
Hope all of the PhD students are having a great day at #SMAANZ2024! I've got a bumper crop of amazing students presenting this year, can't wait to nod enthusiastically in the crowd for them.
Happy first day of #SMAANZ2024 for all those who celebrate ✨
What does one pack for #SMAANZ2024 when you have all the seasons in one week?!
