Thrilled to share that I’ve received a BA/Leverhulme Small Research Grant for my project ‘Fatigue in Modernist Imaginations’. I’m very excited (& a bit exhausted) to explore modernist illness, energy limitation, developing the relationship b/w disability studies & med hums

Accidentally turned TV on to Politics Scotland, & it seems John Swinney has fallen hook, line, & sinker for Peter Mathieson’s line that university redundancies are due to increased employer NI contributions. Swinney passes the buck, like everyone else. Yes, I shouted at the TV.
