Just out: special issue of JCDE on Theatre in the Digital Age. After my keynote at last year's annual conference of CDE I am now very happy to be able to share my thoughts on the digital in theatre as a form of care and resilience with a wider audience: www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi...

Join me (in person or online) at Leicester‘s Centre for Victorian Studies, where I‘ll talk about my current book project on 14 May. Sign up here: www.tickettailor.com/events/cssah... Looking forward to seeing some of you there!

The Guardian view on humanities in universities: closing English Literature courses signals a crisis With degrees disappearing and reading rates plummeting, the arts face a critical moment in education and culture

Universities are in a shocking state & the new government has barely begun the herculean task of stabilising the sector.It signals a cultural shift that risks leaving future generations without the critical, empathetic & intellectual tools provided by literature. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

13/ Disgust is still such an interesting emotion. I‘m not done with disgust yet. Same holds true for shame. Can't quit this strand of research yet #SorryNotSorry

Mouthpiece by Kieran Hurley sounds like a great play on class, authenticity and appropriation 📝 Great talk by @anjahartl.bsky.social

1/I attended #BritCult2024 over the weekend! Thanks to all the organisers at @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social! We had a blast! www.britcult.de/conference20... Haven't properly used Bluesky so far, but my main takeways of the conference and tips for further reading might be a good way to start this off! 🤓

Final conference talk of the year is in the books. Looking forward to exciting panels & discussions at #BritCult2024 today.

Today was the first day of #BritCult2024 at @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social!
The beautiful scenery of the Alps is breathtaking.

Today's keynote was by @carolynpedwell@bsky.social on #intuition & AI. She asked, "Perhaps we are trained intuitively to speak in the language of Capitalism..."

What a wonderful time at the #CDE2024 on #digitaltheatre in Innsbruck: discussions on virtual #co-presence, #viralrealism and #care - in front of a lovely scenery! Thanks to the organizers and participants, it’s been sublime, thought-provoking, and communal.

We've arrived for this afternoon's excursion to Bergisel Ski Jump, to which photos really aren't going to do justice. #CDE2024

We've arrived at Tiroler Landestheater, where @anjahartl.bsky.social is introducing the roundtable discussion: 'How the Digital is Changing the Theatre'. #CDE2024

Dorothee Birke and Anja Hartl officially getting things underway at the conference opening session! #CDE2024
