@MeganMWo Thank you so much! Very flattering to hear. I‘m sure there’ll be more workshops and opportunities in the future!

@Mark_Schm I'm so so so bummed I didn't know about the schedule change (and managed to both miss your talk and botch my own time re-management in the process) 😅 Can't wait to see your new piece, and truly, TRULY love your new book.

I love the fact that @MeganMWo and I had similar slide designs for our presentations @ „Cultural Studies Now“ workshop! Can‘t wait for your book!

In our issue 105 on housing @Mark_Schm reviews recent publications which seem to point towards an emptiness in British politics traceable to class and national identity. Themes of loss, hautology, and melancholia in the context of the British left. tinyurl.com/568y3ck6
