Following from our MLR workshop last year, @zainamahmoud.bsky.social and I are organising a workshop on embodiment & colonialism in November! We are grateful to the @slsauk.bsky.social for supporting this event and look forward to what we hope will be a great discussion.

Get in touch with either Zaina or me (or both) via email if you have any questions!

Very happy to share that today I'm starting a new role as Lecturer in Law at the University of Liverpool, @livunislsj.bsky.social. I'll really miss my wonderful colleagues at @uniexeterlawschool.bsky.social, but really excited about this new chapter!
