Autism is back on the front pages. Why not read the book that my excellent @manchester.ac.uk @manchstm.bsky.social colleague Dr Bonnie Evans has published on the history of autism? It's open access and you can read it online for free. www.manchesterhive.com/display/9781...

The UK government has been urged to remove barriers in the visa process for researchers to capitalise on new US restrictions imposed by the Trump administration. @patrickjack.bsky.social reports:

French academia,in general, does not engage with processes of racialisation because it would imply confronting its own whiteness.

I'm looking to organize a panel for next year's French Colonial Historical Society conference (July 25-27 in Maynooth, Ireland) on the aftermaths of colonial infrastructure/development projects. If you're working on similar topics in French colonial history, let's chat! #history #envhist

A good summary of how it’s going. Finished my PhD 9 years ago and am still stringing things together. As the first Anon says, what does ECR (or Mid-career) even mean anymore? That kind of career linearity depends on first vaulting over the fault line of secure/insecure - now a nearly impossible task

Check in on your junior and contingent faculty. We're going through it right now. I know we all are, but fuck.

Problematic (to put it kindly) on so many levels. 1) there isn't really 'unfunded' research. The REF is there to allocate resources so that research is possible without a grant.

Hot off the press, the British Academy's Cold Spots: Mapping Inequality in SHAPE Provision in UK Higher Education report. Read it if you care about universities or access to the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences for the rising generation. 1/5

Hear me out: a dark academia murder book that opens at a department beginning-of-the-year celebration on a boat (I know a department that does this) and a professor goes overboard. The intrepid department chair must figure out who did it. Everyone is a suspect, including the chair herself.
