Feeling very chuffed for my fellow Bristol colleagues, and thanks again to @hellobrigstow.bsky.social for the seed corn funding, which allowed me to work on the research project!

In 2023 I worked on a participatory project which researched thru the medium of documentary film

We explore how the processes of filmmaking relates to embodied trauma + its representation onscreen

this is a crucial report with significance across the UK #highered sector, for all workers, on fixed-tem contracts or not, including senior management. @rgsibg.bsky.social @rgs-ibghe.bsky.social @britishacademy.bsky.social @timeshighered.bsky.social @resprofnews.bsky.social

Absolutely no practical tips to share, but I have been thinking the same! Sadly I don't think BSky has replaced what Twitter offered us in terms of academic community

My Finland-Friday post this week is just more of the chapter that came out this week. I’m really proud of it and people have said nice things.

We’re having a β€˜queer friendship’ coffee break next week to celebrate in the office πŸ’š

It feels especially good to be included in this contemporary collection of queer geographic scholarship alongside colleagues I really admire. After some precarious work and underemployment, it provides a nice reassurance that my work belongs in this field and is worth being engaged.

Very pleased to have a chapter in 'Queer Geographies - Key Debates and Contending Perspectives' out now!

I write about LGBTQ+ friendships as sites of mutual aid and think specifically about queer rural relations and spaces. It's my first publication from my PhD

Deep in archive obsession: I spent this week with Finland’s dyke-kink subcultures, and lots of beautiful photographic portraits therein!

National Anthem (2023, dir. Luke Gilford)

I feel absolutely bodied! An unbelievably contemporary, tentative, intimate queer rural film. Utopian in parts, harrowingly pragmatic in others - a beautiful spotlight on gay rodeo cultures without overlooking rural poverty. Screen it everywhere!

Research visits to the Workers’ Museum, Tampere, began this week. I’ve been slipping around on the fresh snow too!

After a month or so of settling in, this week I began to feel like an active researcher again β­οΈπŸŒπŸ’›

Finnish painter Magnus Enckell was born on this week (9 Nov) in 1870. Thanks to @queermodernisms.bsky.social via Insta, I've been enjoying reading about his life and viewing his works.

1. Awakening Faun (1914)
2. By The Window (1919) - a slighter more green representation of my postdoc life atm!

It is also a crying shame that postgraduate publications don't get as much cut-through as they ought to.

These essays are all brilliant, critical, thoughtful and creative pieces of work! They definitely deserve a wider readership than they have enjoyed so far.

In Turku at Γ…bo Akademi today for Gender Studies Day. So many great discussions circulating around crip-queer-feminisms, and archival time-travelling with a keynote from Eliza Steinbock. Thanks to the organisers for bringing us together!

Genuine pleasure to be an absolute unit once more! Curious to hear listeners’ opinions on the speculatory nature of this research, and how that might clash with archival neutrality.
