Serious suggestion, if the government wants to save money, stop doing continuing health care assessments on people for whom there is no cure. My daughter is NOT going to get better. Just support her.

Check out this medieval PhD scholarship for one very lucky candidate. You could not possibly have two better PhD supervisors!

There are a lot of heart breaking stories about museum collections.
But here's one that makes me choke up.
The Moai (Rapa Nui/Easter Island statue) at The British Museum is called Hoa Hakananai’a.
Which translates as 'stolen friend'.

If that doesn't just say it all.

another department of amazing scholars to be sent to the woodshed and for *what*? the quality of teaching and research will be just as strong in other departments across the UK. this is so, so deeply unfair on staff and students.

Here we go again...off to Leicester to direct some silly theatre making in unreasonable circumstances. Looking forward to my first 14/48 Leicester!

Let's make it clear: living on the streets is not a ‘lifestyle choice’ - it is a sign of failed government policy.

No one should be punished for being homeless.

Criminalising people for sleeping in tents, and making it an offence for charities to help them, is unacceptable.

Last year I had students come to talk to me, distraught, about how they couldn’t keep up with the reading because of work, and how they were having to work to be able to stay in education. The system is failing them, and entrenching inequalities.

really need all my colleagues to understand that this is the situation our students are facing currently. we need to calibrate our expectations around seminar reading, groupwork etc around this reality, not the model of a 'full time' student that is hardly applicable any more.
