There are lots of you out there working on powerful women, so why not join us in Adelaide to have a bit of a chat about them? There are even a handful of bursaries for PhDs and ECRs. Take a look...

Not one, but TWO Marvel-phores. And srsly interesting stuff.
The 2024 election saw the worst Conservative defeat in history, producing their lowest number of seats, lowest vote share & highest number of ministers unseated. I've been writing about the "crisis of Conservatism" for years, and have collected some key pieces below. ⬇️ [THREAD]

Every year lots of families email us to enquire too late (often heart-breaking shortly after our auditions), and we have to break the news that they’ve missed the boat - help us to reach as many Oxford(shire) families as possible! #oxfordfamilies #youthmusic #oxfordshirearts
📢 Audition slots filling up fast: we have no slots left for this Saturday but a handful left on 📅 Saturday *22nd June*. Don't miss out: if you have a daughter in Year 2 who loves to sing, we'd love to hear from you. @ChChCathedralOx @ChCh_Oxford

When you hear music in your mind/imagination, do you also feel it in your body? If so, where?

It is almost like the words live in my head/mind/imagination, but the music lives elsewhere in my body…. is this… just me? – at Oxford, England
