Just got my copy, can’t wait to read it ✨

Research Seminar: ‘Slashing the Sisterhood? Women’s Authorship and the Postfeminist Politics of Early Teen Slasher’ This seminar unearths a history of women’s authorship in North American slasher film production, and examines the role women have played in the overarching politics and ideology of the slasher film

If you're in Leeds, consider joining us for our first research seminar of the term! Daniel Sheppard (Birmingham City University) will be speaking about the role women have played in the politics and ideology of slasher film.

The #ICA25 FOMO is real, but at least I managed to get myself a new office pal

Aw, that’s a shame! But yeah, the timing is not the greatest unfortunately 🥲

Omg this looks amazing! 🤩 looking forward to hearing the presentation (and seeing you in Brazil!)

#AoIR crowd, sunshine, and Brazilian vibes? Mal posso esperar 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Conference result days are always a mix of emotions, and we've all been in the position of receiving crazy scores or unsettling reviews.
That said, I was ✨ thrilled ✨ to find out that the contributions I submitted to #AoIR2025 have been accepted for presentation – and I can't wait to be in Niterói:

What is going on with all those apps promising to be a quick-fix to all sorts of mental health issues? 🧐Also, why are they all trying to be Duolingo? 😵‍💫

Returning to Leeds after a few fab days in Jönköping, where I presented my work on ViBeS as part of the Media Atmospheres International Symposium ✨
Amazing talks, cute venues, lovely sunset by the lake, and fika - a very atmospheric event indeed 🇸🇪

This Friday I’ll be in Amsterdam for the ✨VIBES✨ symposium, hosted by the Terminally Online collective at UvA (thanks to @idilg.bsky.social & @ddzeeuw.bsky.social)
It’s the first time I’m invited to be a keynote speaker (!), and the vibes will certainly be immaculate:

Also: can we perhaps stop asking for letters of recommendation???

Genuine question: how do people manage students’ requests for letters of recommendation?

I would be interested in hearing about the systems and strategies academics use to navigate the multiple requests from students without going crazy. Do you use forms? Spreadsheets? A really tidy email folder?

reminder: submissions for #AoIR2025 are due on 1 March, this Saturday!
