Ever proud to be a WiF member 🩷 I’m genuinely excited to be newly working with Josephine Goldman, Dr Antonia Wimbush, and Valentina Gosetti, and to continue with Dominique Carlini Versini, Charlotte Mackay and Bonnie Thomas. Enormous gratitude to Christie Margrave Christopher Hogarth and Prof Natalie Edwards

Our department is under threat of being cut entirely. All of us would lose our jobs and there would be no more linguistics (or modern languages, and others) at Kent. Please help us out by signing this petition: change.org/p/save-arts-hu…
