It’s already February!
January passed in a blur of conferences… First, the Modern Languages Association annual convention in Austin, Texas, where I presented research into gender in Zobel’s novels.
Then I spoke in London at the launch of the Centre for Postcolonial Studies at the School of Advanced Studies, which is part of the University of London. This was an opportunity to discuss activities fostered by the FRANCOPOCO Network at the University of Birmingham.
And January has also been a month of forms: from PhD applications and funding applications which I’ve supported, to getting ready for ResearchFish (more on that in another post)… Not to mention working on my book proposal form!
I’m also back teaching, and am really enjoying giving the MA modules on Postcolonial Theory and World Literature which I convene and teach, as part of the MA in Colonial and Postcolonial Studies. So a busy start to the new year!
