Teachers: are conspiracy theories a problem in school? Do you hear your students discussing them? If so does it concern you? Do they come up in class? Have you had any training or resources to discuss conspiracies with students? Whatever your experiences I’d love to hear from you

So much of this book was informed by the conversations I’ve had with students on this @ExploringEngEd module 😊
This afternoon I’ve been re-reading ‘Studying Fiction’, a book I wrote with @DrofletJess a few years ago. We ended with this coda/set of reflections-interesting given recent discussions on here around RfP, ‘literary merit’, and so on. @BarbaraBleiman @NATEfeed @Team_English1

Today's the day...leaving Huddersfield after 33 years. Mixed feelings given recent events, but so grateful for the brilliant colleagues I've worked with there and beyond. The work isn't over yet so if you want to find out what I'm upto, you can go to lesleyjeffries.uk 1/2

The @HuddLinguistics department is an international centre of research excellence, not least in stylistics. The cuts to Arts & Humanities programmes nationally - Huddersfield, Wolverhampton, Roehampton - is devastating. We stand in solidarity with all these colleagues.

Such lovely praise for our book! Thanks @EmmaSto85885160 - we’re so glad you found it useful!! #TeamEnglish
Taken advantage of a weekend free of Y11 tasks to finish this extremely inspiring book by @DrofletJess and @mmgiovanelli : amazon.co.uk/Studying-Fictio… I recommend not just to teachers but to anyone who cares about language and literature. Thank you for giving me much to think about.
