There have been some changes to our M. R. James panel at #IMC2026! Looking forward to presenting a paper on the interplay between James' academic and creative works, and the impact of his scholarship on twentieth-century studies of 'The Wonders of the East'.

Hwaet! The Beowulf manuscript (Cotton MS Vitellius A XV) is now back online. You can consult the entire manuscript through the online catalogue: searcharchives.bl.uk/catalog/040-...

It was amazing to speak about the past and future of medieval social media with @aspencerhall.bsky.social and Emily Dixon yesterday. Thank you so much to @medievallauren.bsky.social and @itslikehistory.bsky.social for organising it!

i love tiktok comments @charlottebowyer.bsky.social

If you want more of a live action rendition of the book, I'll be sharing findings of my survey of #MedievalTwitter (RIP ⚰️) on #s533, 9am on Tues 8th at #IMC2025. Come on down, one and all #MedievalSky 🗃️

I talk a fair bit about the expectation that archaeologists will work for free. Even when we do get paid for appearing at events the reality can be grim. In this thread, I'm going to outline financial issues at play in giving a public lecture using a real world example...

There’s no ‘wrong’ way to become interested in museums, classical texts or art— even if it means encountering them through TikTok trends! It was fantastic to adapt our EAA paper into a 1hr talk at the British Museum last night, discussing topics ranging from Sutton Hoo to sensationalism #medievalsky

Does anyone fancy a bright and early 09:00 start on Tuesday 8th July? Come and join us for ‘Social Media, Public Humanities, and Pedagogy’! I will be talking about Old English and the wonderful world of short-form social media. #medievalsky #IMC2025
