Come and join us this Thursday for a deep dive into the creative relationship between visual and written narratives as we exlore how the natural world, personal history, and art (re)shape our understanding of self and society, esp at times of environmental and personal upheaval.

Enciente, a new Substack post from me:

Loved writing this for hyperallergic The History of Breast Milk in Art hyperallergic.com/837755/the-his…

I need this dress 😍

Kerri ní Dochartaigh @AliceEKinsella The stars of the show just won’t stop! Next to the memoir catwalk, in celebration of a year out in the world, we’ve got #TheFlow Dr Amy-Jane Beer, followed by (a different) #Milk Dr Joanna Wolfarth 🩷 (someone should probably stop me now 😂)

Thank you for interviewing me for this piece. Can't wait to be a part of Breastival next week!

Margaret Drabble on the conflict between motherhood & writing (a summer holiday mood):

Can't wait to be involved in this!

I did History of Art & Philosophy. I'm now a lecturer and published author, who's had a wildly varied and exciting career/ life and has always earned enough. Recently wrote a report that dispels the myth that STEM grads out earn Arts/Hums -Sunak should read it.

There's ample evidence to refute Sunak's claim of ;ow-value' degrees, but here are a handful of reasons why arts and humanities are so vital:

Always fun to get the chance to delve into what makes us uncomfortable or squeamish.

Today on #BetwixtTheSheets I am talking to the creme de la crème that is Dr Joanna Wolfarth about her research on the history of breastfeeding! Enjoy! 🥛

Thank you - I absolutely loved my conversation with Kate Lister for #BetwixtTheSheets podcast.

Being on mat leave gives me a chance to (slowly!) work my way through my tbr pile. First up - MILK by the incredibly astute Dr Joanna Wolfarth, blowing this new mum’s mind and moving her to tears.

Today I have a Q&A with Dr Joanna Wolfarth, author of Milk: An Intimate History of Breastfeeding W&N fromfirstpagetolast.com/2023/06/21/joa…

Thank you for the kind words. Congratulations and best wishes for mat leave xx

I am angry and heartbroken. This is a failure of the justice system and healthcare system - not to mention an awful reminder of the cruel measures put in place during lockdown, while our leaders were partying and possibly profiting.

Is my idea even book worthy? Part 2 of Making MILK, taking an Idea and turning it into A Book.

Whether breastfeeding impacts on GCSE grades or not is irrelevant IMO.

The real issue is the lack of support, the assumption that women don’t breastfeed because they don’t know enough about it, and the over simplification of why they might want to

Thank you Grazia UK for featuring me as a ‘useful and reassuring voice’ in this article about the challenges of breastfeeding (or just generally being a new parent) in today’s Britain.

My mantra in this piece: ‘Do what you can, and forgive yourself for what you can’t.’
