Special Issue of a/b Auto/Biography Studies available: Translingual, Transnational, and Transmedial Narratives, edited by @profnatedwards , moi, Kylie Cardell, Kate Douglas, and Shannon Sandford, fruit of a conference we ran a mere three years ago tandfonline.com/toc/raut20/cur…

Ben Okri's poetry reading @UoBrisBPI was beautiful, including his aborted attempt to read "my mother is sleeping". I would likely "become a child again" if I tried to read something about my late parents again in public, too. #africanwriter #poetry @BristolSML

Also check out what I guess counts as my twelth edited collection. 40th anniversary issue of this renowned journal, too. tandfonline.com/toc/raut20/40/2

Since this is something @profnatedwards will never boast about, I will instead. She's just had her SIXTEENTH co-edited collection published, which makes for one a year since she started in 2008. Over a hundred authors published because of this, I'd say she's pretty altruistic...

I always love language section in Foyles and am even more enamoured today since I found a Wolof book. A translation of a fairly well known title... #wolof #senegal #foyles #worldliterature

Bristol uni's own @shuangyi_li presenting on exophone East Asian writers in French and English and teaching me a thing or two... as usual! #SFSBristol @BristolCompLit

One of the few times I find myself somewhat in favour of a military intervention france24.com/en/africa/2025…

A chapter I know very well has now appeared in a book I want to get to know more!

Very pleased to see this book, on two major African female writers (in French) out now! #afropean #africanliterature #francophoneliterature

Got to see a reading and talk by author Caryl Phillips, who has inspired my academic work in many ways. Good to see Bristol Uni's Caribbean Studies Studio up and running too #afropean #literature

Cardiff has gone from a VC in the modern languages to one with a history of damaging the subject in her previous post in NZ and who's now proposing cutting them altogether here. Please sign the petition

Sad news. “Camminando senza chiedersi perché” #benvegnu

Our call for articles on ‘Francophone Perspectives on New and Radical Forms of Care’ is now live on Francofil! @profnatedwards and I are looking forward to reading your proposals!

Weberfest uber alles. Great to be reunited with friends and colleagues from Northwestern University and to celebrate the 35th and final anniversary of the Paris Program in Critical Theory of Samuel Weber which we enjoyed being part of 20 years ago! #northwesternuniversity #paris

Say what you will about the literary quality of Faiza Guene’s work, her cutting humour still gets me. “Les stars montantes de l’élégance sans chaussettes « ! I deal with that every day here in Cardiff #literature #humour #frenchliterature #cardiffborn

Delighted to be at the @SFPS_UK conference again. Watching @Yee_Jenn giving a brilliant expansive keynote on colonial French literature, endings and mixophobie/a #sfps2024

This smacks of appalling short term thinking and sets a worrying trend. Fight the Closure of Languages at the University of Wollongong - Sign the Petition! chng.it/NndjWtc89T via @UKChange

Great event for a great book.

When nerdy French literature academic couple's text messages and autocorrect meet, and things go quite wrong! Congratulations to both writers though! " That Daoud won the Gosport, btw. And Faye got the Renaudot " #africanliterature #Goncourt2024 #renaudot2024 #daoudforthegosport
