Great new book coming, by @wigs24.bsky.social

Only a few days after the Cardiff shock, we hear of major redundancies at Bangor and University of South Wales, including the closure of English. Our sympathies to staff and students affected, and to the communities left without provision in our field and so many others.

We extend our condolences to the family of Gwen Watkins, Bletchley Park codebreaker, author, critic and widow of poet Vernon Watkins, who died recently at 101. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

AWWE is shocked by the Cardiff University redundancy announcement and those at all other institutions, and offers its solidarity to all affected, including our members. The state of Welsh HE will be a major topic of discussion at our upcoming conference.

Details of our annual conference here. 9-11th May, Neaudd Gregynog Hall. Theme? Underscapes! www.awwe.org/conference.h...

Between Sheen and Swift, WWiE is having a moment!

Ahead of the announcement of this year’s conference #CfP, a reminder that my scholarly association is on here: @awwe.bsky.social for all your #Welsh writing in English needs.
