If you’re in the middle of a PhD, I recommend exploring the work of Dr. Zoë Ayres. She has written a compassionate book on managing mental health in graduate school and has co-created a range of initiatives, that normalize conversations about mental health in research. www.zjayres.com

Wasn’t sure what to make of this, even when I’d finished it. A strange story of Fenland nuns in 990.
Ostensibly about a cursed mere (body of water) but for me it became about relations between women, and by the end of called it Mère (about mothers and female authority)

Thanks for everyone’s input. We had a good chat (I had quite a moan!) and the article should be out in a week or so. Will share here 👨🏻🎓
I’ve been asked to do a phone interview tomorrow on ‘how the funding crisis is affecting early career academics’
Apart from ‘there are no jobs’, what else should we be saying? #academia
