Thank you to my MP @deirdrecostigan for taking the time to knock on doors this morning and for listening to my concerns about the climate emergency. Regardless of political affiliation it's reassuring to have an MP keen to engage with constituents about issues that matter to them

Next week Fri, 1 Nov, the Humanities at Wolves hosts an online seminar with @sarawhiters & @TinoOudesluijs (Sheffield) on using computational methods to dig into the style of Kazuo Ishiguro.
Very exciting to explore new ways of understanding the nature of literature. #CLSUK

Delighted about this new @ace_national fund to aid stroke survivors during their recovery. We'll create an online creative writing programme to help ppl regain functional skills & manage their emotional journey. The Humanities are absolutely invaluable to society.

Q for Ishiguro fans:— which contemporary writers would you see as being comparable to Ishiguro? (Particularly in terms of style?)
I’m seeking some group think to help with my research project! Thanks in advance for any RTs or suggestions 😊
