Another enjoyable year delivering #IMC2026 with colleagues at @imc-leeds.bsky.social. Already looking forward to #IMC2027, and finding time to catch up with session recordings! ⚔️🐲

I'm organising a panel on 'Wundor in Old English Literature' at ICMS Kalamazoo next year (13th-15th May 2027). Abstracts due 15th September 2026. If you have any questions, please get in touch! icms.confex.com/icms/2027/pr... #cfp #medievalsky

I'm organising (with Hunter Phillips) 2 sessions at @kzooicms.bsky.social on RETHINKING ECOTHEORY! (Sponsored by Medieval Ecocriticisms) Please apply (by 11/15) for either DISENTANGLING ECOCRITICISMS (tinyurl.com/ICMS2027-S1) or DISAPPOINTING ECOCRITICISMS (tinyurl.com/ICMS2027-S2).

I had a wonderful time being part of the @imc-leeds.bsky.social team this year at #IMC2026. It was so rewarding to be able to help make IMC a special experience for the delegates, exhibitors, and performers. Now I get to watch the recordings of sessions I wanted to see but couldn't attend in person!

Heartily seconded, and not just because he's my boss. It's literal laugh-out-loud stuff; Henry Sweet did *not* know when to keep his mouth shut.

Our sessions have moved! Due to a technical issue with our original room, you can now find us in the Esther Simpson Building room 2.08 tomorrow starting bright and early at 9am. Hope to see you there at @imc-leeds.bsky.social! #IMC2026

Always a highlight for @imc-leeds.bsky.social for me. Absolutely love it when there's 19th-century books! Picked up Felix Liebermann's Laws of Edward the Confessor and Henry Sweet's Student's Dictionary of Anglo-Saxon (which I probably already have at home but it never hurts to have an extra).

Man, one of the most depressing aspects of modern scholarship is finding a great article and then looking up the scholar to see what else they’ve done and just catching a glimpse of an abbreviated career hopping between visiting positions and publishing great pieces before disappearing from academia
