Historian of ideas. Most recently: The Penguin Book of Feminist Writing.
Today is publication day for The Penguin Book of Feminist Writing! I want to mark it by drawing out voices in the book that feel painfully resonant now, on the violence of the state, the importance of protest in the historic struggle for liberation, & the value of solidarity.

"i shall save my poems for the winter of my dreams", oh Nikki Giovanni you genius, how you tumbled life out onto the page, rest in power on your rocker. #Nikki
experiencing this struggle and this overcoming has been the greatest privilege of my life. it left my mind feeling roomy and expansive; it made my life worth living; I'm grateful for it every single day. And I'm so sad to think of a new generation missing out
at every stage of postsecondary education (BA, MA, PhD) i started out feeling like the concepts i was learning were burying me alive, but eventually learned to interact with them, be in conversation with them, and i have no idea how you would do this if you're relying on AI
I have cared for 1000s of palliative care patients, Philip, & I find your dismissal of a particular group of people as being 'beyond help' both crude and arrogant. The last months, weeks, hours & even days of life can - and very often do - contain love, wit, tenderness, humour.…
We are talking about people beyond help so this is nice rhetorical turn but much weaker than it sounds.
Thanks a lot @routledgebooks. My book "The Political Theory of Liberal Socialism" is officially out today!
Please help if you can. lbc.co.uk/news/sarah-cun… @LBC
My sister Sarah Cunningham has been missing since 0230am in Camden. Last seen leaving apartment building on Jamestown Road. She was wearing a black outfit. If you have any information please let me or the police know. she has been officially reported as missing.
In case you missed it, earlier this week my latest article on English republicanism was published @Global_IH; this centres on a brilliant book, "The English Republican Exiles in Europe during the Restoration" (CUP, 2020) by @TheHistoryWoman. Find it here: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Thanks so much to our fantastic participants for their interesting presentations and to @DrHannahDawson for her wonderful paper. Such a great day!
Could not be more excited to see former @CemsKcl Jonathan Powell's work on fiction, law, and women's voices in print. The word groundbreaking gets overused, but for me this painstaking research and expansive conceptual innovation was truly revelatory doi.org/10.1093/res/hg…
