I had a fun and interesting discussion with Chris Deacy for his Nostalgia podcast - he asked me about lots of things from my childhood I hadn't thought about for years! We talked about my PhD on Quaker language, reading The Lord of the Rings at primary school, how The Matrix has become canonical, and using Goodreads, among much else.

I'm looking forward to Woodbrooke's Quaker Studies Research Gathering - we meet online several times a day, for formal sessions and informal conversation, to share our research and support each other. We hope there'll be a mix of inspiration, practical support with research and writing, and time to work. Each day will include a talk, a workshop, and social time.

Today's academic adventure was my first time joining the staff procession for graduation. A lot of fun! Many congratulations to the two Quaker Studies PhD students who graduated from Birmingham today! #QuakerStudies #academic #university #research #graduation
