This month I was promoted to Senior Lecturer. I never thought I'd be a Lecturer let alone a senior one so I feel very lucky. I had a terrible time with my A-levels and a 10-year gap between my BA and MA but it just goes to show that sometimes we are ready later and that is ok.

If you are thinking about applying to do a talk with Romancing the Gothic, don't be too slow! We've already got the places in one month (one theme) completely filled and there are a few other months with only 1 space left! romancingthegothic.com/2024/07/25/202…
