Yesterday we had our November meeting, which was a brilliant talk on the article editing process led by our very own Miriam Haas!
Mirjaamβs session was so informative, filled with insight into the process and plenty of examples from her own experience, which weβre so grateful for.
Thanks Mirjaam!
Hope everyone is doing ok despite the cold!π₯Ά
Our meeting this week (in fact, tomorrow! Mon 24th) will be a workshop on publications and the editing process with the wonderful Miriam Haas!
Sure to be interesting and valuable to everyone, no matter how far into their PhD journey. See you there!
The cover of a book. Title reads TEXTILE SHAKESPEARE. The illustration shows black embroidery of flowers, fruit, animals and insects on a stained cream ground.
Today is the OFFICIAL publication day for TEXTILE SHAKESPEARE! Please indulge me: I want to say a little (perhaps rather a lot) about it and share my acknowledgements - and a discount code! Appropriately,π§΅1/10

We are awarding our President's Medal to 'In Our Time' as it has done so much to showcase humanities & social sciences. We'd decided this before the news of Melvyn Bragg stepping down, but glad we got our timing right & had a chance to celebrate with him!
