Great conference (that's still running tomorrow,
@goetheuni.bsky.social
) looking at gender from different disciplinary perspectives. Certainly there are (productive) disciplinary differences but also many shared struggles, shared hopes, and certainly a shared feeling of necessity & urgency

Spent 2 wonderful days in Bamberg for
#BritCult2025
last week. Lots of truly inspiring talks, urgency but also solidarity as speakers tackled questions around how to do gender/queer/trans studies in these challenging times. Already had several great conversations sparked by this since returning home

Asked students in my fanfic seminar today to share why they're doing this degree/class. The answers were a healthy mixture of inspiring & grounding.

I'm all for OA but still a bit proud to see some of my writing published in an actual print book for the first time. Also, nice to have another German-language publication on fanfic - there's still so little here!

If you're in Frankfurt on 19 Feb: I am co-hosting a workshop on The Classics [but mostly Dante] in Fanfiction and Adaptation with colleagues from the Romance Studies. Very excited to hear takes on fanfic appropriating classic texts and authors from three different philological contexts!
