Looking forward to next month and my stay at Gladstone's Library on the Ernest Walder Scholarship.

I'll be starting a new project examining and comparing William Gladstone and Thomas Jefferson as political readers.

Can't wait to get amongst the books and back to some research!

A happy first Bluesky post. Last week I successfully defended my thesis. Thanks to my examiners, Kelsey Jackson Williams and Richard Whatmore, and chair, Phia Steyn, for a wonderful viva and to my supervisors, @emmamacleod95.bsky.social and Katie Halsey, for their support over the last four years.
