Doing a proper #introduction post to goad myself into posting here more...

I'm Lauren. I trained as a #historian, though I'm often somewhere in critical #interdisciplinary #CulturalStudies spaces these days, via a patchwork of casual/sessional roles.

I wrote a PhD and book about the history of #MiltonKeynes and its negative cultural reputation. I work on contested landscapes, and how they reflect temporal orientations. I also give workshops on #ResearchMethods , #DisabilityStudies , writing, #reflexivity, and #history for non-historians. My current project is on #eco-crip #QualitativeMethodology and fatigue epistemologies, which is unfolding at an extremely #CripTime pace.

While I joined here to follow #histodons, I will also sorely miss #CriticalRole and #Dimension20 loreposting (and #TTRPG liveplay livetweets in general). If you have elaborate theories about #ExUCalamity I am all ears.

Having never used so many hashtags in one space before, I think I need to go lie down.

@booklearning the hashtags worked though! We love history and TTRPGs too. Hopefully the Critical Role fanartists are here :)

@alittlebithuman oh my, I hope so! I'm expecting some fantastic art after the next M9 episode 💜
