Happy New Year! Wishing everyone all the best for 2024. After a hiatus from this account (busy time writing, editing, public speaking, spending time with loved ones & making glass panels then taking a break over the holidays), I hope to be a bit more present on here this year.

Today's Monday Joy's ✨️ - spending a weekend with friends from my masters, enjoying some of our long-term favourite group activities together. - finishing session 2 of an ethnography course, getting positive feedback on my methodology - travelling to the Museum Association conference! 😁

#museum people attending the Museums Association Conference next week: I am organising a neurodivergent meet-up at the conference for anyone wanting to meet fellow ND folk (& allies), have a chat or a break from conference busyness. I'll share more about when/where closer to the time.
