My book, Love and anti-Judaism in medieval English romance: Typologies of violence and desire, with @manchesterup.bsky.social, is coming out next month! I would be delighted if you might consider ordering a copy for your libraries 💚

Well I certainly won't ever use them again

Yes, it was a tender reading

This might also be a good opportunity to share my poem 'Medieval Mystic Margery Kempe in Tesco', published last year in The London Magazine (thank you!). It has a flavour of the medieval/modern mash-up that I enjoy! #gms2025 #teammargery thelondonmagazine.org/poetry-medie...

Georgia is fab, great to see everyone at UWP reception last night. Thank you to all our guests

Popping this out there for the evening crowd. It's part of a new writing project - I'm excited and nervous, so any support would be welcome! Here, I'm writing about how a long-ago writer captured grief for a wanted baby that didn't come to be.

I'm a bit shattered too but oh it was so great to meet you and I loved your paper

#GMS2025 was fantastic-inspiring, encouraging, and also exhausting. I thought I might have a wander around London tonight, but after 3 days of conferencing and 1 of walking the entirety of Canterbury I ordered food in and am going to watch some fluff.

This will be amazing!

If you read nothing else today, read this.

I appreciate all the shares I’ve had on this! It will be a really fun course & it also gives me some welcome additional income after the cuts that were made to my main post, which kick in from August… The realities of HE life these days.

This comment absolutely made my day. I've been working really hard with my writing, and it is so lovely to feel as if we're starting to build a real community here on bluesky.

#PrideMonth might be drawing to a close, but we’re just getting started:
Only two days until this year's Gender & Medieval Studies conference on charity and care in the global Middle Ages!

Possibly the best backdrop for a Medieval Studies conference (and the prettiest name tags). A great day at #GMS2025, thank you @medievalcanter.bsky.social!

Will you be attending @imc-leeds.bsky.social next week? Join us in celebrating our brilliant Medieval Animals series on Tuesday 8th July at 5:30pm in the Parkinson Building🥂

@medievalcanter.bsky.social @vickiblud.bsky.social

So many highlights of #gms2025! @menysnoweballes.bsky.social plenary, the Unruly Wombs roundtable, all the care that @medievalcanter.bsky.social showed us (cake & more!), and spending time with the most wonderful people ❤️ Thank you!

Great first day of the Gender & Medieval Studies 2025 Conference. Thanks to Dr Diane Heath @medievalcanter.bsky.social and #CKHH Dr Sheila Sweetinburgh for organising! Looking forward to tomorrow! #GMS2025

The final bkog from Dr Sheila Sweetinburgh as she is leaving CCCU. An appalling decision by the University blogs.canterbury.ac.uk/kenthistory/...

So much going on, MEMSFEST report, Faversham Magna Carta talk Cathedral document workshop - and tea! blogs.canterbury.ac.uk/kenthistory/...

At the University of Bologna today for a meeting of the Coimbra group of European Universities. Great talks and a sharing of challenges and perspectives. But best of all...the Rector has a 16thc portrait of Gaspare Tagliacozzi in his office, which features his treatise on rhinoplasty. #earlymodern

Lots to enjoy in Sheila's latest blog, MEMSFEST GMS and oodles of greatvthings about Christ Church Gate and Becket miracle windows - what a great week! blogs.canterbury.ac.uk/kenthistory/...

I managed to see the Worth exhibition in Paris & it’s drool worthy!

Faversham talks, MEMS Fest at UoK and all sorts of great research - please read Sheila's blog here blogs.canterbury.ac.uk/kenthistory/...
