Finally submitted my PhD yesterday - feels very odd to have let it go but pleased to have it in!

Had a great time at the Dis/Trusting the Institutions of Literature conference at UCD - a brilliant series of panels and papers across themes of sociology and literature.

Here I am chatting away about the grammar school, disciplinary English Literature, and the British constitution.

I've been learning Welsh for two years now with mixed success - very grateful to my Welsh colleague who will talk to me about books in Welsh! I think I'll have to start trying to slowly read something on my own, but that's probably a post-PhD project
