Now the contract is officially signed I’m excited to share that I’ll be publishing my first monograph ‘Courting Celebrity: Creating the Courtesan on the Popular Parisian Stage, 1831-1859’ with Oxford University Press. Thank you to everyone who got me here, you know who you are!

I do have a question for many of my academic & writer friends on here. How have you been watching all this for the last 1.5 years & counting, & just remained utterly silent except for promoting your books/appearances/blogs? How do you do it? It can't be that you don't see.
If you want to hear about my new “Diasporic Divas” research on the 18th-century Afro Italian singer Vittoria Tesi then please sign up to the below, in person or online at the end of the month!

It's outrageous that they've renamed a magazine that's been running since 1925? What a woke centenary!
Aww right back at you @ClareSiviter excited for future collaborations and conversations 🤩
At the end of a long week, it is wonderful to have this in my hands. Clare Finburgh-Delijanj has been a brilliant editor and @EmmanuelaWroth the most amazing coauthor. Interviewing Eric Ruf @ComedieFr was also the stuff of dreams✨

My exclusive for Observer today: For 1st time FOI data from Oxford colleges shows majority of tutorials taught by early career academics struggling to manage on low pay & ‘Deliveroo-style’ contracts. FT profs only taught a third of tutorials last year. theguardian.com/education/20…

When you're really proud of the work you've done this year, exhausted and ready for the Christmas break, but it's October
