Sneak preview of my poster for the SIS conference in June on the ‘Digital Turn in Italian Studies’. My poster is about my TV Italian Style podcast - and having started reading about podcasting as research method and as public humanities project, I wonder if I should write this up somehow…
Screenshot of a research poster outlining the TV Italian Style podcast and explaining podcasting as research method and output. There are images representing the podcast episodes, a copy of the podcast series logo, a graph with download data, and a map showing where the podcast has been downloaded around the world.

The ear thief has struck
A brown and white rabbit is looking straight at the camera taking the photograph. Her ears are laid back and so invisible from the angle the viewer looks at the photograph. We can see her white paws and front, her brown chin and cheeks, the white stripe down her nose, and her eyes and whiskers. But not ears. Her mouth is slightly open and she looks a bit shocked. She is standing on a beige carpet.

Design sprinting today and tomorrow at a @universityofleeds.bsky.social design sprint for academic personal tutoring. Interesting ideas about how might we start to answer some of the big questions that exist about providing effective tutoring for all involved.

Trying to write a thing and can’t help feeling very much like Beatrix bunny who has just had enough.
Brown and white rabbit lying down at full stretch, with her chin on the ground and her back legs stretched out behind her. She looks deflated!

It’s #SEC2025 here @universityofleeds.bsky.social organised by @leedsteaching.bsky.social - after an excellent student panel, I’m in a panel all about initiatives to enhance the student experience - ways of building relationships through newsletters and pizza (for example) are key!

Update: everyone loved seeing Mastroianni performing a duet with Bobby his dog - because who wouldn’t like that?!
