new years resolution is to get good at the cryptic crossword. just finished my first of the year, with help from my mam, in a very humbling 2.5 hours. only up from here!

Exactly one month to go until my Cambridge Digital Humanities methods workshop - thinking about how to collaboratively bridge the gap between theory and praxis in collections database research. More info here cdh.cam.ac.uk/events/35858/

reminding myself, as I head into PhD year 3, that I am cultivating self directed work habits for (hopefully) a lifetime of research and it's ok that my time management and focus aren't perfect yet. still a work in progress🤞✨

This is just fabulous from Cambridge Digital Humanities . “We read computer code as a text and understand it not just as a set of instructions, but as a carrier of meaning, and a medium through which culture is made and propagated”.. sign up folks!

This evening! 8:45PM UK time. Vona Groarke, Writer in Residence at St. John’s College Cambridge, will be speaking to the Cambridge Group for Irish Studies. Join us at the Parlour, Magdalene College ☘️ Zoom link here 👇
