Just one day left for this wonderful opportunity to present your ongoing research at the University of Cambridge! Please submit an abstract within the next 24 hours!

Calvary Walk to Build Building to serve

Tomorrow, I’m running a half-marathon through the desert!

I’m asthmatic but my brother’s church in Arizona feeds the hungry, helps the homeless, & tutors tons of underprivileged kids. Their building is full—they need a new one! Please support my run; help me help them givebutter.com/c5sZ4h/the-a...

We are at a time and place in the US where women's voices and freedoms are at risk. I cannot wait to read this arricle about a nameless woman whose voice was silenced by society, but was "heard" and elevated by Daniel centuries later.

Thank you for your important work, Daniel!

Thank you!

‘An Absurd Rage for Public Speaking’: An Abolitionist Fair Orator in the London Debating Societies, 1788–1791 On 11 May 1789, the night before Parliament’s first debate on ending the slave trade, a woman advocated for abolition before hundreds of Londoners at a debating society. Despite her compelling orat...

🚨 I'm thrilled to learn @Cambridge_Uni has covered the immense cost to make my article on the Fair Orator—an 18th-century woman against the slave trade—FREE!

I’ve wanted the world to know her story. Could you help by Liking & Reposting?

You can read it for free: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Would value your prayers as I speak in just a few minutes at #ETS24 on “Do You See This Woman,” exploring how Scripture compels us to see and hear women like Dinah, Tamar, and Hagar. Praying this brief talk helps make the church become safer.

This photo by IVP Academic doesn’t convey how packed the room was. I was one of many squeezed into the front sitting on the floor, many others were standing at the back and along the sides. It was my highlight of #ETS. I hope everyone, everywhere will read @carmenjoyimes.bsky.social’s paper.

I never knew that the Bible doesn’t say Bathsheba was on the roof! @carmenjoyimes.bsky.social’s ‘Take Another Look at Bathsheba’ revealed the text as a Rorschach test, exposing what readers see, and reveals what God sees—a victim of sexual violence. This paper was masterclass of exegesis.

I’d love to invite you to a panel friends are organising: ‘Assisted Dying: Is it Ethical?’ Friday, 22 Nov, 5:30–7 pm, Pembroke College Auditorium, at the University of Cambridge. Renowned speakers will explore how UK legislation may affect the vulnerable. RSVP: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/assisted-d...

Would love to join if I may. I was a whistleblower at RZIM, and am hoping my PhD and adjacent research will contribute to addressing abuse in the church

I am so happy I’ll get to hear your paper, and also to meet you! I’m honoured to get to be presenting at the same session as you!

Anyone else on BlueSky attending ETS in San Diego this week? I’d love to attend your paper!

My paper is titled: “‘Do You See This Woman?’: Foregrounding Women’s Voices Within the Church and Academia.” I am completely new to ETS and would value anyone coming out to support!

An overlooked giant of the 18th century: Sarah Trimmer (1741-1810)! She authored over 40 works, had 12 children, spent time with the Queen, championed the poor, started Sunday Schools, and influenced Hannah More, Jane Austen, & William Godwin. We need a movie or monograph about her! #history

Bluesky tip for newbies: Bluesky has no real algorithm. Likes here do nothing but show the poster that you enjoyed their content.

That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. 🙂

Agreed! I'm working on an academic journal article about Lewis's deeply inspiring theories of speech, which he displayed through his talking animals.

Rape, law and stories of trauma: representations of sexual violence in The Australian Women’s Weekly, 1970–82 The 1970s ushered in a period of significant feminist activism, public debate and judicial reform on issues of rape and child sexual abuse. In this article, I examine how The Australian Women’s Wee...

I am fortunate to have recently published my first journal article entitled Rape, law and stories of trauma: representations of sexual violence in The Australian Women’s Weekly, 1970–82 with the wonderful team at History Australia.

Thanks @marloavidon.bsky.social! Your rigorous research and enthusiasm for new discoveries inspires my work!

Daniel is such a passionate researcher doing groundbreaking work - I’m so excited to dive into his new article! #skystorians

This is a brilliant article - many thanks for sharing and congratulations.

I am going to share with my MSc students who have just done a week on Habermas and the public sphere.

The first of many, I hope. Follow @zarakesterton.bsky.social to follow her brilliant and fun research on artificial flowers in the long 18th century 🌷📚💐

My co-convenor of the University of Cambridge’s workshop on the long 18th century, the brilliant @zarakesterton.bsky.social’s article on artificial flowers has been published! It’s a delightful read. Zara is one of the most kind and brilliant scholars I know. Follow her and read her work 🌷💐📚

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.” - CS Lewis

Excellent analogy! I’m also Jewish and I also love Narnia 😊

I’d love to be added, if still possible 🙏🏼

I am so honoured that you read it! Thank you!

If at all possible, I'd love to join this Starter Pack! My PhD is on the soundscape of the abolition of the slave trade, and I work part time in advocacy against human trafficking.

I'd love to join this if at all possible!

My PhD research is on the Soundscape of Abolition and the impact of public speaking against the slave trade in the long-18th century. I am also a co-convenor for the University of Cambridge's Workshop on the Long 18th Century. I'd love to join this starter pack!
