Why I’m a fan of the Oxford comma.

JUST landed on my desk, the amazing 'Black Feminist Theories', a landmark text and an essential book for courses. So many people put so much into this, including the volume editors and my amazing assistant Leigh. Huge thanks to you all. www.bloomsbury.com/black-femini...

Nice review of www.bloomsbury.com/flann-obrien... from @bloomsburylit.bsky.social in Estudios Irlandeses: 'Harris has written a book that both counts as a celebration of O’Nolan’s work and argues for his position in a canon of anti-authoritarian aesthetics and politics.'

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

Has been happening so much of late. Be aware... www.thebookseller.com/news/soa-and...

Can't wait to see this book out. Also looking forward to @veronicaheney.bsky.social own book, which will be up on the website soon!

Hi all. Scammers have recently contacted academics, authors and agents, impersonating me & other Bloomsbury editors. If you receive an email from me from anything other than [email protected] pls disregard. Feels curiously invasive and not great. More info: www.bloomsbury.com/uk/connect/c...

Zuckerberg and his ilk really are sociopathic, empathyless wealth generators. I hope that, despite all the power and money, they go to bed each night feeling deeply empty and truly unhappy.

Brilliant to see 'Green Dreams: Why Technology Can't Save the World' by @imreszeman.bsky.social and @tanner-mirrlees.bsky.social on the Bloomsbury website (and what a dreamy jacket it is!)
