- Reposted by Lorna Richardson'Lucy Powell, leader of the House of Commons, told MPs in March that the police and the Office for Students (OfS) were investigating "serious allegations" of racism, bullying and financial misconduct at the university.' So much attention paid to changing its name, so little to senior management.
- Heading to the @uea-ucu.bsky.social picket. This is the week my colleagues find out if they’re being made redundant & this didn’t need to happen. Beatings, morale etc etc etc
- We should probably just have a list of universities who are not in financial trouble
- My paper on archaeology, DNA and the BNP is going to be published imminently, which is some good news I needed to start the week. Small, unfunded celebration incoming, in line with its academic gestation
- Going to pack one weeks worth of emails & student tutorials into today because we are back on strike tomorrow. Emails that start “I know you are on strike but could you just…” 🗑️
- The differences in these data highlighting the big gap between numbers of White people and Black or Black British people on who visit heritage sites, historic landscapes or archaeological sites are really striking
- NEW REPORT OUT TODAY 👉 Arts, Culture and Heritage: Recent Trends in UK Workforce and Engagement in England. Creative PEC’s ‘State of the Nations’ series analyses the latest data across four thematic areas to inform the development of creative industries policies. pec.ac.uk/state_of_the...
- Also picked up the little late Neolithic knife that I found field walking as a teenager & sent to Norwich Castle museum in December 1989 for ID. They found it in a cupboard last year & finally got round to recording it. Slow and steady wins the race *cough*
- Week 11 field trip to Norwich Castle Museum day, the best teaching day of every year
- I hope they vote for Stanley Tucci
