I have shared on YouTube today a talk from Nov 2021, which was one of my first explorations into masculinity, violence, and the Bible. It was part of the @corrymeela.bsky.social launch event for a faith-based resource to tackle gender-based violence: youtu.be/La_t_wyCclE?...

BOOK ANNOUNCEMENTS! 🚨📖 Cover, pre-ordering, and a video! I’m really excited to announce a few things to do with my edited volume ‘For Nothing is Hidden: Masculinities and Trauma in Church and Theology’ being released with SCM Press in June 2026! Read on...

A final bit of teaching for the Trauma and Theology module today at @westcotthousecam.bsky.social with ordinands and students from across the CTF, looking at the richness of Holy Saturday for trauma survivors and how liturgy (especially the Eucharist) can be useful in post-traumatic remaking.

We are recruiting! Could it be just right for you? Do you know someone you could point in our direction? Please share!

There’s nothing like a website spice up! 💅 www.revdwillrm.com

3 years ago, I sat along a riverbank in Somerset reading this as the first book for my PhD work. I’m returning to it today as I start my methodology section, after a supervision this week in which the words ‘viva’, ‘submission’, and ‘examiners’ came up for the plan of the next year…

It was great to be broadcast on BBC Radio Wales' All Things Considered this morning, talking all things masculinity and faith. Listen here: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

If you see this - whoever you are, in whatever way I know you (or not!) - consider this an invitation to my First Mass on Sat 27th September at 2.30pm at St John’s, Loughton (on the end of the Central Line). Please pray for all those being ordained and get in touch if you’d like a hard copy!

Excited to be speaking to @karenod.bsky.social and @drkatiecross.bsky.social this afternoon as we begin to craft our chapter 'Moving From Feminist Trauma Theologies to Masculinities' for my forthcoming edited volume with @scmpress.bsky.social on masculinities and trauma in church and theology!

Can I call myself a Barbie theologian yet? #SST2025

And that’s #SST2025 kicked off! It was a pleasure to be the respondent for tonight’s plenary paper, focussing on gender, the Eucharist, and trauma theology. Now time to chill out and enjoy the theological conversation… until my Barbie paper on Wednesday!

Just to remind everyone, I’m a very serious scholar 👀

I have two exciting announcements… a new book and an exciting talk! 🎉🧵

I spent this afternoon reading through and editing a chapter of my PhD and... I like it? It makes sense and I actually feel proud of the work I've done? This feels like a massive shift in my mentality around my research. Wow. #PhD #PhDLife

Happy Sunday!
