A new special issue of the Journal of British Cinema and Television 'The Women Behind James Bond' has dropped. It covers everything from stunt women to wardrobe, to voice acting and (of course) the mighty Barbara Broccoli. Oh, and an article on casting by me.

I think of this story every time I ask a student to repeat their answer succinctly ...and then I shiver.

It's hard to convey it in type, but I'm having a bit of a 'this is the true meaning of solidarity' moment.

I was teaching the film Pride to incoming students this week. Two tales of communities showing incredible generosity to each other.

I'm shocked SHOCKED to find yet more evidence that student evaluation of teaching is sexist.

Students rate identical lectures differently based on professor's gender, researchers find

When philosophy students were asked to evaluate identical lectures assigned to men or women professors, their responses varied by gender. The study suggests gender bias plays a role in how teaching is...

It's delicious to see male political figures getting the same level of clothing scrutiny as women.

Stepping on @dieworkwear.bsky.social 's toes. But Morgan McSweeney has the wrong button undone here. For a two button jacket only the top one should be done up (for a three it's the middle one).

I might be getting my soaps confused. It's a wonderful reminder of the days before you could just Google a word you didn't know.

That bloke with a pink guitar who makes videos of himself playing for zoo animals... I'm convinced the animals are trying to make him stop.

Does anyone else remember Laminton fever in the UK? A Neighbours plot line caused a sensation by talking about them the whole time, without explaining exactly what they were #Strictly

All of us who teach Raewyn Connell's work will be interested to read this new interview with her! In which she also reveals that she's currently working on a trans book! www.smh.com.au/national/rae...

Raewyn’s groundbreaking work changed how we think about men. Its origins were deeply personal

Raewyn Connell has a global reputation and is speaking at an event marking one of the PM’s intellectual influences.

I asked the librarian for that new kids book where Pavlov's dog goes on adventures with Shroedinger's cat. She said it rings a bell but she can't be sure if she has it or not until she has a look
