Two things I’m working on today: I am the head editor of a special edition of the Goldsmiths literature journal (GLITS), so I’m currently checking over peer review sheets and manuscript feedback from our board of editors.
I am also writing questions for an event I’ve been putting together as part of Alternative Careers Week at Goldsmiths, which is a conversation about the challenges facing prospective academics between myself, Dhanveer Brar, Beth Guilding, Jake Hall, Akanksha Mehta and Roberto Mozzachiodi.
You can find the details of the event here: Is a Career in Academia Worth it?

28.2.2021 // Here’s my current online classes setup :) i take lecture notes on my ipad, while the lecture’s playing on my laptop - i have to say my neck pain’s improved a lot since i got myself a separate keyboard and moved the screen a bit higher and further away!
♪ affection - between friends
I’m grateful bc J understands that, yes, I do need another coffee maker, especially if it’s mini with a tiny jug and tiny filter papers. Excited to Twin-Peaks-ify my workspace with this little cutie 🤎

The giveaway is open until the 1st of February 2021. The winner will get a special valentine notification on 2/14/21! (Why the 2-week gap? I am but one [1] humin bean.)
Also, to make myself smile, I’m gonna reblog some favorite older posts/reblogs during the giveaway’s entry period. It’s a “free giveaway,” right? Aw yeah.
