Next Tue (28 Oct) I’m running a free webinar on 'Folk Horror in Literature & Film'. I'll be discussing the evolution of the genre and how the ghosts of the past still haunt us today.

Had such a fantastic time at the British Science Festival on Saturday. It was a joy to connect with so many brilliant researchers. Thank you to @britsciassoc.bsky.social for making me this year’s Award Lecturer for Science & the Arts - it’s been incredible! #BSF25 #histmed #disabilityhistory

I launched the University of Leeds Dental Histories digital museum last week! I’m so proud to be PI of this project and incredibly grateful to the brilliant team of Research Assistants who made it possible.

'Disability & Sanctity in the Middle Ages' is now published with @amsterdamupress.bsky.social. For folks interested in visual impairment, I've contributed a chapter exploring visual impairments and sanctity in medieval imagery.
