We live in a world where there's a Wikipedia article for every obscure background character in Star Wars but not one for Marion Royce, who was the founding Director of the Women's Bureau, Department of Labour and at one point represented Canada to the United Nations and I am so irritated by this.

Big congratulations to Julia on the publication of her book on the literary history and analysis of Francophone poetry in the Great War. Soon to appear in an English version more focused on history. So much great work has came out of our cohort on the Historial summer school a decade ago in 2016!
Aujourd'hui, le premier des livres issus de ma thèse a été publié! Destiné à un publique francophone et plutôt littéraire, il sera accompagné d'un autre ouvrage plus historique en anglais.

“no… way of course id love to do an extra thing even tho i haven’t done the million other things”
