Today's @ucuedinburgh.bsky.social rally to defend jobs and oppose cuts at Edinburgh university #SaveHE #NoCompulsoryRedundancies #StopTheCuts

finally going through my finds from the US archive trip. here are some of the ads that amused me most on my visit to duke. big tobacco really did try their hardest to attract new smokers, i guess

excellent few days at the @hotcus.bsky.social conference in lancaster! got some excellent feedback on my chapter at the pgr/ecr workshop with andrew preston, met a series of very lovely people, and, most importantly, got this sweet mug. had a blast at my first hotcus and will be back!

hard at work on my research trip, as you can see by the photos. boston uni was great, but duke was better. gorgeous part of the country! definitely didn’t take a lot of time to explore both cities, only did archive work, of course. anyways, the states has been pretty good to me this trip 🫡

delighted to announce that i've won the BAAS research assistance award to supporting my upcoming archive trip to the US! incredibly thankful to @officialbaas.bsky.social for the generous award, particularly in such difficult circumstances. very excited to get into the archives soon!

The UK university sector is on fire. This is happening virtually everywhere -- job cuts, hiring freezes, department closures, PhD funding programmes... full blown crisis

Quotes from me in THE. “Davison, who previously left her position at Goldsmiths, U. London after being handed a redundancy letter, said: “If you work in higher ed in the UK, it feels like you are running away from a wave… like a tsunami of job cuts...” www.timeshighereducation.com/news/edinbur...

i have stumbled upon a potential gap in the literature for my thesis. unsure how to feel about this. suspicious, i think. the only option is to spend my saturday evening in the office investigating 🫡

Feels like the right time to join here with the toxic PhD discourse on the hellhole that is Twitter. I’m ready to entertain with my witty takes here instead
