Unsurprised, but disappointed, to see that Newnham College's JRFs are being defined as explicitly trans-exclusionary: newn.cam.ac.uk/research/res...

What a lovely spot for a writing retreat! Thanks to the organisers for creating the space to deep dive into writing, and to the funders for making it possible!

✨There's still time to submit your abstract for our Special Issue! ✨ If you're a #PGR or #ECA working on #Emotions in the #FirstWorldWar please do get in touch! We're a team of PGRs who want to build something genuinely collaborative and offer diverse perspectives and fresh voices-- join us!

In my role as PGR Rep, I'm proud to share the below statement from W+IGS and stand with all those advocating for inclusivity in academia. As a non-binary PhD student, W+IGS has always been a welcoming space where I feel supported and valued. #SupportTransScholars #InclusiveAcademia

In response to today's supreme court ruling, we want to urge any researcher in Trans Histories to consider a proposal to our new Queer & Trans Histories series - because research into Trans histories will help to shape Trans futures: manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/series/queer... #TransRights
