Its been a long long road, but I'm very happy to say yesterday afternoon I passed my viva with minor revisions! Watch this space, Dr Harrison is on her way! 👩‍🎓🎉

Any Stephen King scholars, this is a fab opportunity to get involved in a really cool project about motherhood in King's works. Also a chance to work with the lovely Dr Connor McAleese! Deadline for proposals is August 31st so spread far and wide!

Anybody with any job leads in the North East of England? I'm North Tyneside based right now and actively looking. Very open to anything to do with literature, editing, events management, social media, marketing, academia or teaching opportunities.

Thesis submitted, time to anxiously get viva prepping 😅😅

Singing myself the alphabet as I finalise my bibliography is an entire new level of write-up hilarity...I think I'm losing it 😂😅

Most recent thesis procrastination: a little walk to St Mary's lighthouse in Whitley Bay 🥰

My most recent article got published today!!! A nice little boost before Christmas.

Best xmas gift ever! Been desperate to read this one 🥰

Moving into the new house has been a LOT more work than I thought, but my office is coming along, one more layer and my lovely bright orange wall will be done. I don't know why I chose orange, but this wall makes me so happy ☺️

Wow, the exhibition has flown by this year! So happy to see such wonderful work for my last year being involved in the project. I'll leave you with some highlights here - hopefully we will restage in the new year, so watch this space!

Fun fact about me... To combat the existential dread of approaching the end of my PhD, I often crochet pokemon plushies as a form of procrastination. The newest addition is this sweet little guy!

A little taste of our 'Nineteen Eighty-Four in 2024' exhibition for those of you who aren't local! DJCAD illustration students have yet again graced us with some wonderful illustrations - still going until end of day Friday if anyone wants to pop in!

In dundee? Come along to an informal get together in the Global Room tonight 5pm-7pm come and go as you please, enjoy some refreshments, view the exhibition, and maybe chat with some of the artists! More pics of the exhibition to come, and it is open for viewing all week!

The best way to get to know me....my lovely bookcase! The amount of Atwood, Butler, Burdekin and Tiptree says it all really!

New to Bluesky as of today! Seeming a lot nicer than the other place so far. Looking to build back my lovely big contact list of fellow academics. Research interests include representations of gender in utopia and SF and historically erased authors of both. Please pass on to any likeminded folks! 🥰📖
