Sinead Carter

happy new academic planner day to all who celebrate x

As part of my PhD research on space (i.e the built environment/social space) and feminism during the British Women’s Liberation Movement, I’m looking for oral history participants to interview about their experiences. You don’t need to have thought about space and your activism- I’m just interested in your experiences! If you were involved in Reclaim the Night, squatting/housing activism, or feminist architecture from c.1968-1990 (ish), you can contact me on this platform or email me: sinead.carter@pgr.reading.ac.uk. Please share with anyone you think may have contacts!

SOBBING

Those videos of parents who are fuming that their kids weren’t allowed to wear the Union Jack to ‘culture day’ at school are IRKING me 😭 if you’re actually desperate to be patriotic then pick something actually from British culture.. or are you making a meta point about how British culture is racism

it’s Friday! the sun is shining but it’s not unbearably hot!! I’ve booked a holiday!!!

I love this app!! It feels like the opposite of doom scrolling

I really have to force myself to do expense forms?? it’s the only thing on my to do list that I can’t be bothered to do and it’s THE ONLY ONE with a tangible incentive? I literally get money if I do it!! it doesn’t make sense!!

Thank you Charlotte!

Thank you so much for your help!

Ah thank you!

Congratulations! Absolutely not silly- learning to drive is difficult 🥲 enjoy the freedom!!

Thank you Natalie!

My gran sends me photos of her jigsaw puzzles whenever she finishes one and it makes me sob every time 😭 she’s the cutest

Thank you! 😊

Passed my upgrade today! Had an Aperol in the sun to celebrate 🥳

I am for sure missing my connecting train down to Cornwall but nobody’s perfect

travelling GWR instead of Cross Country genuinely feels like being in first class. it’s so bright? and relatively clean? the overhead luggage actually fits luggage? the seats were made by someone who has actually sat down before?

had a day trip to Cardiff today for the @swwdtp.bsky.social summer gathering ☀️

Spent my Saturday night at Wembley with Dua Lipa 😌

A laptop showing the ‘Greenham women everywhere’ online archive on a garden table surrounded by nature

not mad about this being my office for the day

Well done! Enjoy the new type of fear 🥳

No it's the built environment and social construction of space kind! Although maybe feminist sci-fi has something to say about feminist ideas of space and place...

Thank you Zoe- hope you're doing well!

how do you tell your family who are not au fait with the university system that you are in fact not at school despite doing a phd bc my uncle asked me the other day how i could be back in cornwall because it's not half term

A quick intro as I'm fairly new here! I'm Sinead, I'm in the first year of my PhD at Reading, researching space and feminism during the British Women's Liberation Movement. I'm Cornish and I enjoy cooking, crafting and cats #skystorians #historiansofbluesky
