I’m at the airport en route to #EABSBL, so it feels like the perfect time to send a copy of my book, Reimaging the Magdalene, on a journey too!

💛 like and 🔁 RT and I’ll draw a winner on the feast of Mary Mag (22/07, heathens)

Let’s see where it ends up…

Broke: the dire wolves 🐺 are resurrected before the Winds of Winter is finished.

I’m very happy to share that my book ‘Reimaging the Magdalene: Feminism, Art, and the Counter-Reformation’ is now available to buy at all good booksellers (and the dodgy ones too).

At least one leading newspaper is covering important college issues.

Editorial: U.S. colleges are overusing — and underpaying — adjunct professors
As much as 70% of faculty at U.S. higher educational institutions are contract workers without benefits or job security. That's not good for them, students or schools.
