#jobs Permanent part-time departmental tutor in archaeology with Oxford Lifelong Learning

I’m putting together a guide for first time teachers in HE and would love your recommendations 💛 what are you favourite texts on pedagogy? Especially interested in any texts that focus on student centred learning, and on decolonising / uncolonising the curriculum. Thank you!

Amazingly, there's a permanent university job available in History! It's 'only' part-time, and as the only non-fixed term contract in the entire UK available right now will probably see a queue form many hundreds long, but it'll be great for someone: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DOO275/l...

I'm teaching a module on critical theory this term. I'd love to know what your favourite books/articles are on critical theory - if there was one text you'd encourage students to read first, what would it be?

Please help. Please sign. I work on a part-time degree for mature students to study for a BA in English Literature & Community Engagement. Its direct access and designed for those who didn't or couldn't go to Uni at 18. Bristol plan to close it. We want to save it. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Lecturer in Creative Writing (poetry) at Royal Holloway 💛 jobs.royalholloway.ac.uk/vacancy.aspx...

Hmm, this seems like a wise and sensible take on UK university finance until and unless you’re willing to question the austere and impoverished neoliberal logics underpinning its core premises. 🧵 1/7

I'm very happy to answer questions by email or chat to anyone who's interested in this job, in our brilliant, friendly @chppc.bsky.social team at @ihr.bsky.social. Send me a direct message or drop me an email via my IHR address. And please share! #job #history #Skystorians #HistoricEnvironment

Me launching my substack

In 2026, the MSA Conference will look a bit different-- weird, even! That's because we're having a joint conference with BAMS @modernistudies.bsky.social in Loughborough, UK from July 1- 4, 2026. The CFP will be out soon! But in the meantime, please save the date.

I'm currently looking for visiting lecturing/tutoring work for the autumn 💛 I've worked in English, Media Arts and Liberal Arts departments, and have taught poetry, literature, film, television and critical theory. If you know of any vacancies, or anyone that might be looking, please let me know 😊
