In memoriam Alan Grant, Norm Breyfogle, Adrienne Roy, Albert De Guzman, Dennis O’Neil and George Cordeiro. I haven’t written here in a while, but it’s that time of the year. It’s also been a year since we moved to a house next to a Victorian cemetery. Before the clocks change, this week has had very dark mornings, and later in the day the light in the cemetery has been really beautiful.

Honoured to have been invited as keynote speaker, along esteemed colleagues Zu Dominiak and Damon Herd.

I will be presenting on Friday 8th September, 2023 with the title “Making Gatekeeping Transparent: Insights from a Decade of Trying Open Peer Review”.

The workshop will be held in person in conjunction with the Hypertext 2023 conference. I share the programe here.

We co-designed a poster to present at the Digital Humanities Conference 2023, Graz, Austria, 10-14 July 2023. You can download it open access.

This year’s topic is one close to my heart (most literally if I may say so) and attending is a decision I did not take lightly.

Where I look at some of the creative ways people responded to and processed the impact of the pandemic on their lives.

I will participate the panel “Comics in the Capitalocene”, with my City colleagues Dr Dom Davies and PhD student Reed Puc.

Webcomics/hypertext scholars! There’s still time to submit. See you in Rome or online?

Found in a notepad from 2018.
