So so grateful and excited to have been invited to speak on this SAA panel put together by Clare McManus and @lucycmunro.bsky.social! I can't believe I'll be speaking alongside all these incredible scholars!! It's genuinely a dream come true 🥹😭

Lecture series!👩‍🏫 'Performing (in) the Early Modern City': join myself, Dr Lydia Valentine, and Prof. Clare McManus Thursdays 29th May-12th June to hear about secret performance, sky-high performance, and the influence of civic performance on race-making in early modern London.

An absolute highlight: getting to celebrate with my amazing supervisors Simon Smith and Tiffany Stern (we did get far more posed photos, but how could I resist posting these grins?) The most supportive, caring, and funny supervisors a gal could have had 🥹

Yesterday, in suitably festive attire, I graduated from my PhD at University of Birmingham! Filled with delighted friends, dreary weather, and heaps of joy I can say without a doubt that this was by far the most amazing graduation I've had. Academia is hard but days like this are worth it
