In October, I’ll take up a new job: Departmental Lecturer in English Literature and Manuscript Studies, 650–1550, in Oxford’s English Faculty. A bit of a mouthful, but I’m glad they fitted the ‘English Literature’ bit in there.
I’ll be teaching the Faculty master’s module in palaeography, codicology, and textual criticism, and, around that, also contributing to undergraduate lectures and tutorials on verse form, lyric, and manuscripts.
This change means I will also leave Merton College, which has been my home since January 2019. Thanks to covid, January 2019 lies an unimaginably long time ago, and I’ll miss Merton’s community and the admirable students that I’ve had the great luck to teach there. Happily, though, I shall move to St Hilda’s College, where I studied for my master’s and doctorate, as an Associate Research Fellow. I’ve very fond memories of graduate study at St Hilda’s, and I look forward to returning to the college in a new position.
