This conference looks amazing! It's always a great experience - PhD and ECRs especially should send in abstracts.
I've no idea what to pitch but I've got to get my scorpio ass there!

Delegates from last year’s conference might remember our charming little ghost, who hid all over @UCC campus for delegates to find. He’s looking forward to haunting delegates again this November!

Had an absolute blast at @hauntedshores.bsky.social and @macabredanse.bsky.social wonderful 'Unquiet Shores' conference. I got to speak on trauma, water, and sound in horror film, with a very generous reception to my (typical) insistence on inserting trauma and gender into EVERYTHING. Cheers!
