Bittersweet to listen to the last episode of @KeepingIt_101, which has for the last 5 years been so entertaining and educational, and shaped how I teach and understand religion. Kudos to @profIRMF and @mpgPhD for showing what exceptional public scholarship can look like.

Had a brilliant day in Leeds discussing hermeneutics as a tool for teaching RE with @TeachFirst. #TeamRE
Proofs submitted for my final journal article! Pleased that I managed to get something into Phenomeology and the Cognitive Sciences before moving on from academia. Watch this space if you're interested in grief and deconversion.

In September I will start the @TeachFirst training programme, teaching RE in a North Yorkshire secondary school while working towards my PGCE. I have loved studying and researching religion for the last 12 years and am excited to share that passion with young people. #TeamRE
Proofs are here!
I have a book coming out! If you're interested in religious conversion, cognitive science & phenomenology then it may be for you. If you're interested in how to combine philosophy of religion with religious studies, then you might find it interesting too. bloomsbury.com/uk/rethinking…
