We - and our democracy - need arts and humanities, says The British Academy Julia Black, to 'understand people, the world and – combined with science subjects – tackle the greatest issues of our time.' And universities need a regulator to help protect them.

Amazing cover for a very exciting book. Congratulations Dr Mary L. Shannon!

What a wonderful tribute to the bravery of Corinne Fowler: dialogue and openness the best antidotes to culture wars. theguardian.com/world/2024/apr…

calling all The University of Sheffield students! I am recruiting student actors to participate in my practice-as-research workshops, where you'll get to act out interactions between early modern magistrates and the people they tried to govern. paid £50 per half-day workshop! pls RT!

I spent four years thinking about porous masculinity in early modern performance. Two weeks ago (time?!) I passed my viva! 🎉
