Hello, friends! I am back and will be making a concerted effort to post regularly on here, because the other place is truly hideous. I have a huge platform there and will continue to use it for good, but it will be nice to spend more time in sunnier climes if you’ll have me!

Hi all. I couldn’t be more delighted that so many people have showed enthusiasm towards my work and I would love to share more with you as soon as I’m able, but right now my first priority is my students. I also need to get some sleep 😅

A couple of answers to commonly asked questions:

1. No, my thesis is not currently available to read - it’s under embargo while I publish its content in various forms. I’ll share more as and when I can :)

Hi all! I’m going to try to keep up with the discourse on here as best I can, but it’s no longer the weekend so I have real life stuff to do! Thank you to anyone who has followed me, expressed interest in my thesis or offered stabilising thoughts!
