I had a fun and interesting discussion with Chris Deacy for his Nostalgia podcast - he asked me about lots of things from my childhood I hadn't thought about for years!

My guest this week is Rhiannon Grant, who teaches in Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre in Birmingham. We learn about Rhiannon’s work, which includes recently having had an edited book published featuring a range of international academics and lay writers.
I'm looking forward to Woodbrooke's Quaker Studies Research Gathering - we meet online several times a day, for formal sessions and informal conversation, to share our research and support each other. We hope there'll be a mix of inspiration, practical support with research and writing, and time to work. Each day will include a talk, a workshop, and social time.
