IMC was wonderful… so wonderful that Sam Masters and I are excited to do it all again next year! Here is the CfP for next year on the theme of Communities. @imc-leeds.bsky.social

IMC next week! I am co-organising three panels on Mind and Memory in Old Norse literature with Samuel Masters on Monday. I am talking about ravens in the second session - do come along if you fancy. @imc-leeds.bsky.social

Norse in the North on Friday! Looking forward to speaking about some ravens there!! @norseinthenorth.bsky.social

grammar morning

a working from Glasgow kind of day

riddle-y

Some weekend mountaining to get through a week of herons… or the one Old Norse poetic heron pre-1150 to be exact (unless someone knows something I don’t, in which case do tell!)

I know IMC just happened… but, anyone Old Norse-y fancy giving a paper next year?

edits and espresso!

lovely way to kick off the IMC with a great paper from @jamespaz.bsky.social 🌊

pretty spot for heatwave IMC prep

So excited to be giving a paper at IMC! 16:30 on the Monday, if you like ecomedievaly things 🌿

rather a lot of reading!

Previously, I had been under the impression I was doing a literature PhD. This, however, looks suspiciously like maths to me.

Looking forward to talking about the functional symbolism of the plant-scrolls on the Ruthwell and Bewcastle crosses… I’m convinced those are blackberries and other native English plants, not grapes! Session time is 16.30-18.00 on Monday 7th July.
