I’d love something new from Sarah Waters. (This is next best 😀) The Paying Guests is brilliant - although The Night Watch is my very favourite!

This looks terrific. I know hauntology is a minority interest in academia, but great fan of Justine Pors work in this area. Look forward to reading in due course!

Me too! Uncomfortable being on the other side of the fence as well this time ….

I think your thread worked just as well for the anxious parents 😀 thank you!

Thanks for sharing our early findings, @wonkhe.bsky.social - any government moves to shift apprenticeships more heavily towards younger learners will have implications for how we support and retain them - including greater investment in workplace mentorship structures.

We will order! See you soon Fran 😀x

This was my first submission to @managementlearning.bsky.social - on disruptive emotions in pandemic working. If you are thinking of submitting here - wld highlight engaged and supportive process from reviewers and editor that made such positive improvements to paper. Thank you 🙏🏼

Some great advice here. Good luck to anyone at risk or dealing with ‘next’ right now. Useful advice I was given last time - if you are part way through a paper or two, and want to use some time to write - make sure you get everything you need before you lose library access …

Wow thanks so much all. So interesting (and fascinating displacement activity from my usual organisation studies stuff!) Thank you, will certainly have a read of your thesis, Will.

Yes, it’s that word ‘perilous’ that underscores the connector for me. I think there is also an earlier quote on Galadriel being fair and perilous (will have to look that one up!)

Lovely! I always find myself thinking of Keats ‘To a nightingale’ when I read the Lorien scenes… ‘do I wake or sleep?’ I am no Tolkien scholar though - does he ever talk about Keats or is it one of those random connections you make as a reader?

Yes this. Original request arrived mid-marking on Tuesday afternoon. Reminder on Sunday, with the hurt ‘shame you didn’t want to review’ coming 45 minutes after the reminder…. Soz but get paid to mark assignments first ….

Yes please 😀

A terrific article. Depressing, but beautifully and evocatively written on a subject that’s worrying us in higher education daily.

Seconded! It’s not my field but would be amazing to occasionally get such seminars online.

Another bit of self-promotion, sorry. Good luck in your search journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....

I’ve picked up ‘reverse editing’ following someone else’s tip recently. Start with your concluding paragraph and work upwards - does your argument still work? Really good for spotting if your conclusion is a bit …fadey…

Saw your LinkedIn post, just joining here myself ….(slowly!)
