Thrilled to be interviewed by the Timpul newspaper, one of the oldest running newspapers in Romania. Attached, a 19th c edition of it.

I'll be speaking about my academic journey thus far and the key to success as a foreigner in various environments.

I just watched Dracula A Love Tale and I am deeply obsessed.
This was a gorgeous film with an intoxicating story. I may never recover 🖤

It's just two words, but a personal favourite find in a medieval manuscript is this signature of Anne, a princess of Kievan Rus and Queen (Regent) of France.

Written on a 1063 charter, it reads "АНА РЪИНА" ('ana rъina' ~ 'Anne Queen'). The language is Old French, but the script is Cyrillic!

Is there some sort of thing going around those who teach Latin in universities? I keep on hearing bizarre things about them as opposed to the praises I always hear about those teaching ancient Greek... #eveningmeditations

My academic #ShadowCV includes,
* unsuccessfully applying for way too many permanent jobs,
* working at 5 universities, and nowhere tenure-tracks were available, or installed after me, or for others only,
* too much time spent on trains working the laptop,
* never had a contract longer then 3 years

It was a privilege to talk about the radical C17th women in my book with @sixteenthcgirl.bsky.social for Not Just the Tudors. We had a brilliant and wide-ranging discussion about a Yorkshire maidservant who met the sultan of the Ottoman Empire … and much more!
