I’m really grateful to the Executive Support Team in the School of Humanities at @uniofreading.bsky.social for updating my webpage on the Department of History website! I can only imagine how busy they are and so it really means a lot to me 🙂 #feelinggrateful www.reading.ac.uk/history/our-...

…then you should be willing to do the same for others. #milestone #academia #publishing #highereducation #service #community

… (I recall a reviewer of a funding application that I submitted some years ago now commenting on the fact that I was an assiduous book reviewer and that it was an underrated aspect of academia) and my view has always been if you want people to review your books…

…which I strongly believe does a disservice to their authors, as from my experience as a Book Reviews Editor potential reviewers are less likely to review a book if they can only receive an eCopy). But most importantly I truly do see writing book reviews as a form of academic service…

🧵 Today I wrote my 100th book review (photo of the book below)! It is quite surreal to think that I have reached this milestone. I reviewed my first book before embarking on my Ph.D. over two decades ago in 2004 (photo of the book also below) 🙂…

I was really excited to receive my complimentary copies of the latest volume in my ‘Studies in Transnationalism’ book series with Peter Lang Publishing today! I’m quite a hands-on editor and so I’m quite proud when a new volume is published in my series 🙂 #academicsky www.peterlang.com/series/sit

My first class of teaching after quite a while at @uniofreading.bsky.social went well! And it was also so nice to meet some new and old colleagues 🙂 #workinghard #collegiality #feelinggrateful #academia #highereducation #teaching

I’m so pleased to see this amazing book by Brigid Magner published in my ‘Studies in Transnationalism’ series with Peter Lang! I’m especially excited as it’s the first literature volume in my inter- and multidisciplinary book series 🙂#academicsky #highered #publishing doi.org/10.3726/b20432

I came across this article a local newspaper in the Fraser Valley, BC, 🇨🇦 published on my resignation from my former workplace, drawing on the article that I posted on LinkedIn explaining why I left: fraservalleytoday.ca/2026/01/02/u...

I thought I would share this article about why I resigned as Director of the South Asian Studies Institute at the University of the Fraser Valley #sasi #ufv #abbotsford #bc #canada #academia #highered #bullying #harassment #toxicity #selfbelief #resilience #strength www.linkedin.com/pulse/from-m...

…Graduation Ceremony today should be commended for truly making this my most favourite Graduation Ceremony by far 🙂 Many other universities could learn a lot from the way that they do things! 🙂 #feelinggrateful

🧵 I really enjoyed my LLM Graduation today! It was nice to graduate with friends that I made from my cohort 🙂 It wrapped up what has been a really great studying experience at the University of Reading! And the organisers of the quite informal, relaxed… Photo Credit: John Yip Photography
