So glad to have pushed through the anxiety to present my findings at the DiGRA 2025 PhD Consortium! I was genuinly terrified but the feedback and discussion was so valuable and the whole conference has been a real highlight of my PhD journey so far! So excited for the rest of the week! ☀️✨🇲🇹

One of my favourite things to do on a city break is visit the cemeteries for the social history and architecture. Had a day in Paris so paid a visit to some of my favourite scholars: Pierre Bourdieu and Jean Baudrillard ✨
