Such a pleasure to introduce our final screening for the Spectral Child on Screen series. Abrahamson’s ‘The Little Stranger’ remains profoundly eerie, poignant and beautiful. Huge thanks to @HydeParkPH for collaborating with us.

Delighted to be in Dublin for a round table on The Spectral Child and the Law. This conversation will bring together creative writers, clinicians and legal scholars to think about a range of topics pertaining to the law and the child, both historically and in our present moment.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended our second workshop yesterday, to @spectres_of for organising, and to @NSCAP_NHS in Leeds for hosting. What a productive and powerful day, full of interdisciplinary exchange!
