Have just read on Facebook that New Zealand has cut Humanities and Social Sciences research off from public funding. This short-sighted decision undermines critical thinking and cultural understanding. A warning to us all: this could happen elsewhere. #HumanitiesMatter #SaveTheHumanities

Excited to share Conrad and World Literature, a special issue of The Conradian I co-edited with Christopher GoGwilt. It explores Conrad’s work in a global context, with fresh perspectives on space, time, and literary connections. #JosephConrad #WorldLiterature

Sad news. The decline of English Literature degrees marks a profound cultural shift, jeopardizing future generations' access to the critical thinking, empathy, and intellectual depth that only literature can cultivate.

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.
