Honoured, humbled and slightly daunted to have been elected President of @asmcf.bsky.social at the Canterbury conference (and to have delivered a keynote…). Thanks to members for your confidence. To all in French studies, including PGs and ECRs: come and join us!

Today is one of my favourite days of the academic year, when I give a QUB Open Learning lecture to approx. 200 members of the public. This time, we’re thinking about how some recent French literature prompts reflection on the connections between ecology and epidemics.
