Announcing New Welsh Voices in English Literature - a new research series at Swansea!
I wanted to devote some of my @leverhulme.ac.uk trust fellowship to promoting work by other ECRs in Wales.
I'm really looking forward to these two talks this semester, with Bridget Bartlett and Beth Pyner.

Somewhat relatedly, trying to learn Welsh pronunciation when I still havenβt figured out how to sound normal with my new, deepened voice is a trip.

βBrynβ is Welsh for βhillβ and also a gender-neutral name I tried unsuccessfully to make happen for myself. Now that Iβm moving to Wales I canβt decide if itβs lucky I donβt share my name w a ubiquitous topographical feature or if itβs too bad because βHillβ is a great Nonbinary Noun Nameβ’οΈ
