We’ve had so much incredible panels and discussions. We thank each one of you for joining us and sharing your research 🧠.
I learned so much from my fellow panelists @CripKidLit hosted by @CRASSHlive @Cambridge_Uni today! I discussed how physical disability "tames" neurodivergent approaches to time in What Katy Did with @rachelmmilne moderating. 4 amazing papers on 19th/20th c. texts!

This one's mine! Looking forward to seeing some you there in person or online
