1/At Macquarie Uni we are losing 50% of our units in my faculty. This is on top of cuts in 2020. We estimate by next year my faculty will be teaching 80% fewer subjects than pre Covid. Disciplines being cut do not have declining enrolments. @jennaprice.bsky.social @michaelwestbiz.bsky.social

Academia tries to address many inequalities in research but speaking English is one of the big ones and it's hardly ever acknowledged - in the English speaking world

Though it’s traumatic for me to bring this up, I was targeted by a group allied with Turning Point USA in 2018, with the help of Tucker Carlson on Fox. My home address circulated online and I got death threats. 1/

Are you a late stage doctoral or postdoctoral reasearcher with expertise in medieval and/or early modern landscape history & an interest in working with or in the heritage sector? This opportunity with the University of Oxford and West Horsley Place may be for you: www.tss.ox.ac.uk/vacancies/19...

UChicago just axed the Middle Eastern Studies program where I did my MA (along with every other grad program that requires language study). Luckily there isn't anything major happening in the Middle East at the moment, so that should be fine.

Here’s to hoping the UC stands strong in light of the news out of Chicago and inevitably other places—colleagues here in Asian Languages & Cultures doing amazing work supporting endangered indigenous languages! humanities.ucla.edu/news/oona-pa...

Researchers discover evidence for West African ancestry in Anglo Saxon England, revealing the diverse, cosmopolitan nature of early medieval Britain 🏺 #Archaeology Read the original research articles in Antiquity 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy... doi.org/10.15184/aqy...

Really exciting new archaeology report showing that two people who died in 7th century Kent had West African grandfathers. It’s suggested they’d travelled here as traders and settled thanks to the Byzantine Empire’s trade network that linked North Africa to Britain

Excited to see this out! New publication, led by Duncan Sayer @uclan.ac.uk with a great interdisciplinary team.
