I’m devastated that this (very interesting) article isn’t about chimpanzees getting into New Age spirituality. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/04/s...

This is such a wonderful reminder of why writing (lit reviews, professional documents) matters in the context of AI. I can’t wait to share it with my students.

Hi everyone, I'm organising a conference in Leuven, 4-5 June, and you're all invited*! It's called 'Performing evil: the mediation and display of diabolic spectres 1700-2000' and here is the call for papers (get in touch if you'd like a pdf!). Please share widely! *to submit an abstract before 21/3

This edited collection looks great! I can’t wait to read it!

I really enjoyed talking with the Q & Abe podcast about ghost seeking and tourism at Lincoln's Cottage, where visitors often wonder if the cottage is haunted. I definitely plan to visit when I'm next in Washington D.C. @lincolnscottage podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

This is such an important reminder at the end of this semester.

I had a great time at the AAAs talking about animal ghosts! I was happy to see how many papers were actually about ghosts and spirits rather than just metaphorical ghosts. 2025 has been a great year for ghost conferences. 👻

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

I had the best time at the Ghosts in Britain and Ireland 1500-1950 conference. All of the papers were fascinating. The organizers did an amazing job! www.mic.ul.ie/Ghosts-Confe...

My book, Doubting Ghosts, is out today! It's based on research that I started in 2006, so it's been a long time in the making. I'm really happy that it's finally out in the world! www.routledge.com/Doubting-Gho...
