These dark November months are not kind to energy levels and mounting deadlines, but even the smallest gestures provide help. Clinging to words of encouragement from my academic heroes like a lifebuoy.
Tea and saffron buns and sci fi/fantasy also help, of course.

Loughborough CA Day started out wa::y back in 2007 as a local, friendly get-together of like-minded interaction analysts.
It's now a global, friendly get-together of like-minded interaction analysts.

Using sci-fi to help switch off after intense writing ✍️ 👩💻 days and Interstellar hit really hard. I swear I was only locked away for a few hours, but even the dog seems to have aged considerably.

2nd Call for Papers:
The performance of food has become ubiquitous in the digital realm, where we find content saturated with all things culinary, gustatory, and gastronomic. From food porn images to restaurant reviews, from what-I-eat-in-a-day-videos to cooking shows, from mukbang to forum posts with food advice – people negotiate and display their food practices online, to be consumed and regurgitated by others via their digital devices. This is often based on co-occurring linguistic perfor
