@eicathomefinn.bsky.socialReposted by @clairelanghamer.bsky.socialUniversities cannot expect researchers to take risks if they are repeatedly at risk of redundancy while losing professional services support, grappling with the gratuitous vagaries of home and international student number swings and both teaching and assessing in an age of unregulated AI.
@clairelanghamer.bsky.socialThis is such brilliant news Sadiah!

@clairelanghamer.bsky.socialLovely lecture by my fab colleague Adam Chapman on the VCH: ‘Part of the project’s role should be to advocate for archives that speak to their places and communities.’
@clairelanghamer.bsky.socialBeing at Chalke History Festival reminds me yet again how interconnected university-based history and other forms of history-making are. The thing we do in one place explicitly supports the thing we do in another. University cuts, closures and job losses harm the entire history eco-system.
