One of the most frustrating things about this crisis is the continually poor communication with staff and students. Reading about what is likely to happen to you in the media creates such distrust in management.

New paper out in BJSPl! We examine how pro-Russian supporters in Romania & Moldova use identity-driven narratives to justify the war in Ukraine via moral disengagement & social creativity. Read here: doi.org/10.1111/bjso... #UkraineWar #CollectiveIdentity #MoralDisengagement #Polarisation

Today, Shane O’Neill, our interim Principal announced the University of Dundee needs to cut 632 jobs to be financially sustainable. Also there are 237 vacancies (in part due to the recruitment freeze since Nov). That’s 870 colleagues from 3200. OVER A QUARTER! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
