Thrilled to have published my first academic article in the Postgraduate English journal! If you're interested in Aldous Huxley, Eastern Philosophy, or conceptions of pain, check it out here!: community.dur.ac.uk/postgrad…

Was excited to record this episode with @AldousHuxleyPod - a discussion of pain in the work and philosophy of Aldous Huxley, based partially on my research into modernism and religious understandings of pain. Check it out here:
Our inaugural post on X! This episode we were delighted to interview PhD researcher @RyanOShea42 about Huxley's ideas about pain, and we explored how much they anticipate present-day neuroscientific understandings of pain. #aldoushuxley #modernism #podcast @LAHP_DTP

New issue of 'The Modernist Review' is now out - a collection of articles from the #NWiMS conference! Was a pleasure to edit this - amidst difficulties in the sector, it's reassuring to see the great work that's still being done in modernist studies. shorturl.at/qb4xF

We are working on a remembrance, but we cannot overstate the influence of #FredricJameson on Duke University Press. We have made his articles in our journals freely available through October 31. "Postmodernism" is our all-time bestselling book. ow.ly/kGvQ50TtqGz

Now on the (boiling) train to Leeds for #EphemeralModernisms! Taking the time to go over some slides for the crucifixions panel - very much in debt to Fritz Lang for this visual intersection of crucifixion and temporality.
