Thank you #pint23 team Dr Leslie Wong @GefanW_333 Brandon Mak for a fab event last night!

Woah, and we wrap up #Pint23 with great talks that unravel our societal woes! 🍻🥂to our newest kids on the block King's Languages, Literatures and Cultures KCL Department of Political Economy + King's International Development for bringing King's College London research to the BIGGEST science festival in the world! See you in #pint24!

Reviving this long-dormant account for some shameless self-promotion. If anyone’s in London on 13-14 May and wants to know why four A&H PhDs (including yours truly) are speaking at an event called Pint of Science, you can pay £5 to find out! 13 May: pintofscience.co.uk/event/love-you…

14 May: pintofscience.co.uk/event/travelli… I’ll be talking about why and what happens when the Graeco-Roman gods, Dracula and Sherlock Holmes show up in the “exotic” Far East.

Had fun talking about “Far Eastern” neo-Victorianisms today at the only academic conference where I truly feel like an insider. King's Languages, Literatures and Cultures Shout-out to all the friends and colleagues on the organising team who made this possible!

Discovered the existence of Rustic Mascara’s #grandthefthamlet today. Now waiting to see how many disciplinary boundaries the first academic paper about it will violate.

Submitting my PhD thesis felt like a significant enough milestone to warrant reviving this account, so here I am. Definitely not trying to make my algorithm show me more proper academic content instead of Larry the Cat tweets and videos.

Just submitted a IIAS fellowship application bang on the deadline. Keeping fingers firmly crossed.

That mood when you’re on Spotify Basic and get served an ad you’re actually interested in but Spotify cuts you off with another ad before you can click into the first one. #capitalism
