Day two of being a panel chair / zoom tech / general support staff for the SpokenWeb Symposium. Yesterday was exhilarating and exhausting. Looking forward to what today will bring!

I wrote a review of an excellent edited collection of solarpunk essays for the journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment. You should read it here, and then go read the book.

So probably time for the introduction post...

I research Greek literature related things. I've spent a lot of time writing about monsters (mostly in this book: https://www.routledge.com/Monsters-in-Greek-Literature-Aberrant-Bodies-in-Ancient-Greek-Cosmogony/Mitchell/p/book/9780367556464).

I'm now mainly interested in time and its personification.

I'm an honorary research fellow at the University of Birmingham, but essentially an independent scholar.
