Announcing New Welsh Voices in English Literature - a new research series at Swansea!

I wanted to devote some of my @leverhulme.ac.uk trust fellowship to promoting work by other ECRs in Wales.

I'm really looking forward to these two talks this semester, with Bridget Bartlett and Beth Pyner.

Brad's and my article in ELH is out - and it's OPEN ACCESS!!!

We're both still constantly learning on the topics covered, and this might not look exactly the same if we started writing it today. But we're both really proud of it! :)

Somewhat relatedly, trying to learn Welsh pronunciation when I still haven’t figured out how to sound normal with my new, deepened voice is a trip.

“Bryn” is Welsh for “hill” and also a gender-neutral name I tried unsuccessfully to make happen for myself. Now that I’m moving to Wales I can’t decide if it’s lucky I don’t share my name w a ubiquitous topographical feature or if it’s too bad because “Hill” is a great Nonbinary Noun Name™️

Been busy! But finally getting around to announcing: I’ll be moving to Wales in the coming months to join the AMEND project at Swansea University as a postdoctoral research associate.
I am so grateful and fortunate to have this opportunity! 😊

It's notable that rfk describes autistic children as a destroyed "resource" when he complains about autism stopping people from working. Here you see how eugenic ideology functions as a bridge between capital and fascism.

literally who the fuck cares if autistic people never write poems or play baseball or whatever the fuck. you don’t get to do eugenics because you can’t understand that disabled people are fucking people with lives of their own that are worthwhile even if they don’t meet your arbitrary criteria

Anyway I love being autistic and trans and every time these clowns talk about my bodymind as if it's a problem to be solved I will simply be more annoying about it
