My latest publication is really an endorsement of an excellent new book on French-Australian links in the Humanities, written by other people and edited masterfully by Bertrand Bourgeois et al. It's in the new issue of the French Studies journal liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/toc/fs/79/4

I always love language section in Foyles and am even more enamoured today since I found a Wolof book. A translation of a fairly well known title... #wolof #senegal #foyles #worldliterature #africanlanguages

@profnatedwards.bsky.social looking delighted to welcome delegates to the 2025 conference of the Society for French Studies at the University of Bristol #sfsbristol @frenchstudies.bsky.social @frenchatbristol.bsky.social

Great to see our colleague and friend Siobhán Shilton delivering her inaugural lecture as Professor of French last night. She’s actually been professor the whole time we’ve been here, and seems like she’s been a colleague much longer 🙂

Got to see a reading and talk by author Caryl Phillips, who has inspired my academic work in many ways. Good to see Bristol Uni's Caribbean Studies Studio up and running too #afropean #literature @uobartsmatter.bsky.social

Yeah I don’t think I’m too excited about the latest French Prime Minister…

Weberfest uber alles. Great to be reunited with friends and colleagues from Northwestern University and to celebrate the 35th and final anniversary of the Paris Program in Critical Theory of Samuel Weber which we enjoyed being part of 20 years ago! #northwesternuniversity #paris

Say what you will about the literary quality of Faiza Guene’s work, her cutting humour still gets me. “Les stars montantes de l’élégance sans chaussettes « ! I deal with that every day here in Cardiff #literature #humour #frenchliterature

Looking forward to co-writing a book for the first time. It sure helps to write on life writing with my life partner!
