Emily Hay

Had a lovely time today at @kingjamesconf.bsky.social presenting on James’ use of his mother in his English succession 👑

Main takeaway from the day? My aggressive hand gestures whilst presenting…

It's me! After handing over the reins of SGSAH Digital Curator to the wonderful Isabella Shields I can still be found in spirit on the SGSAH Research website as the Featured Researcher for May 🌞 👑

"Woman" is now legally classified as "broodmare," I'm sure this will have absolutely zero long term consequences for reproductive healthcare down the line.

After all it's not like anti-trans agitation is part of a far wider far-right, explicitly natalist movement or anything, right?

I wish universities would 'start to ask questions' about how many academic 'leadership' roles they can afford!

The proliferation of vice/deputy/pro/associate 'leadership roles' over the last 10-20 years has been quite extraordinary.

Teaching opportunities for PhDs dry up in university cash crisis Barely one in three postgraduate researchers now have opportunity to teach, finds Advance HE survey, with financial pressure on institutions likely to blame

'Only 37 per cent of PGRs say they have had the chance to teach or demonstrate, according to the survey, published on 5 December, which received responses from PGRs at 57 UK and four Australian universities.' 1/2

Women Writing Socially in Academia This book meets the need to enable women’s capacity, in academic settings, to structure their own writing practice and that of others in the community.

Out now: Women Writing Socially In Academia.

A joy to be a part of this, and an excuse to write about being annoyed at Taylor Swift in an academic context.

It's a belter. Please share widely, order for your libraries and enjoy the compassionate solidarity.

Brought in 2024 with a 1000-piece Tudors jigsaw puzzle 🧩
My favourite part is obviously Mary making an iconic appearance, but for some reason she’s in demure white rather than martyrs red here 🪓
