We will now immerse ourselves in the weird and wonderful world of ‘Ritual, Burial and Funerary Practices’ in Iron Age Britain for the final session of #IronAgeDialogues — you just know this is my jam! #ECRlife

What an absolutely amazing first day of #IronAgeDialogues! So many brilliant talks and so many fantastic people! Can't wait for more Iron Age discussions tomorrow! 🛖🌾🐮 #ECRlife #conference

After just over 2.5 years it feels bitter sweet to be leaving #BODYPOLITICSERC & @archanchistleic.bsky.social! 🧿

But it’s not a complete goodbye just yet — as I’ll keep collaborating with the project and other wonderful colleagues at Leicester ✌🏻

'There is no reason to work in academic research in Greece except for extremely strong personal reasons'

As a 'Greek brain drain' academic, I wholeheartedly agree. I wouldn't go back either for the working conditions or the salary

I'm having an exciting #academicpublishing week. I received page proofs for my upcoming article in Studies in Philology, and Lauren Sisson and I have submitted the manuscript of our edited collection Motherhood in the Medieval World to Brepols! #medievalbsky #ECRlife

My @LeverhulmeTrust ECF application has been submitted and now there is nothing to do but wait and hope, but not be too hopeful! #ECRlife #medievalbluesky

I’ve lost count of the number of weekends this past year I’ve spent rage-comfort reading Sara Ahmed. #ECRlife

Reading pre-submission feedback that refers to my application as “an extremely engaging and effective case” and feeling a bit giddy but also trying not to get my hopes up. Must continue to assume that I will fail! #ECFapps #ECRlife
