Wonderful afternoon yesterday celebrating another PhD success as Rai passed her viva. Her creative critical thesis has been a pleasure to supervise for Catie Gill and me over the last 3 years. @lborouniversity.bsky.social

Last evening we said goodbye to two phenomenal colleagues in Loughborough English. Deirdre O'Byrne and Catie Gill have been teaching in our department for over 20 years and next week will leave us for pastures new. The department will feel very strange next term without their presence.
