We welcomed Dr Laura King to @LeedsUniEnglish for a joint event with the Health Histories Research Cluster, led by @KatRawling. Dr King's title was 'Living with the Dead: The Meanings of Graves and Sites of Remains in Remembrance Practices in 20th Century Britain.'

Yesterday we welcomed Prof Rosemarie Garland-Thomson - here in conversation with @smurrayleeds. Rosemarie shared her interdisciplinary 'critical diaspora', working with narrative & bioethics among many other fields. She will contribute to @itdfproject during her stay. #disability

Delighted and honoured to get this news!

My latest book, Curious Kin in Fictions of Posthuman Care, will be published soon. It's about more-than-human care in recent recent literature, film, and television. I've been working on it for quite a few years and its nice to have it out in the world. https://t.co/rhLqg6PouO

Medical Humanities & Disability Studies: In/Disciplines is published later this month. No book I've written was as challenging or took as much out of me, but I'm very proud of how it turned out. You can read a preview here: https://t.co/qLS3TwZO6R #MedicalHumanities #Disability
