Over Christmas, I marvelled at the incredible impact of A Christmas Carol, at the sheer amount of reworkings in film and writing. I also wondered whether something with such an impact could still be created - what would our Christmas Carol look like? Perhaps, I've found it - neosfaidh an aimsir

It is incredible and wonderful to see the support for our petition - 3700 signatures since Tuesday! I hope this petition may be symbolic as well for the other smaller languages in NL that are currently under threat. 1/2

Last weekend, the Netherlands celebrated the National Weekend of Scholarship (#WeekendVanDeWetenschap) 📚- the Celtic section organised #CrackTheCelticCode and hundreds of kids did crack that code! 😍 So proud of them, and of our students, who were absolute pro's in their medieval outfits 📜

Dit weekend sta ik met mijn collega Natalia Petrovskaia en een heel aantal enthousiaste studenten weer op het Weekend van de Wetenschap! Kom langs en help monnik Óengus om de Keltische Code te Kraken!

Ag féachaint ar 'Miss Scarlett and the Duke' - rinne siad iarracht, tá sé beagnach ceart 😍
Watching Miss Scarlett and the Duke - they really did try, it's almost correct!
(In case there's a job going for a consulting Celticist on the show I'll happily take it!)

One of the most fun new traditions of my job is speaking at #Castlefest - absolutely packed room listening to my ramblings on Feminist(?) Celtic Goddesses using material from Angela Saini and Ronald Hutton, as well as of course Elva Johnston! Also, the mic makes me feel like a superstar 🤩

My favourite amazing thing (probably) of 100 Years Celtic is that I got to sit down with prof Berteke Waaldijk and dr Leni van Strien to talk about interdisciplinary and female solidarity in the intertwined history of Celtic + Gender Studies at Utrecht University. Curious? 👉 doi.org/10.5117/tVgN...
