I've always said I'm a PhD student - in my 5th part-time year currently. But I note on my Uni website I'm a "Doctoral Researcher", which sounds grand and possibly more in keeping with my advanced years. What do you call yourself?

Higher education is already in crisis. We're looking at mass job losses and a future with fewer institutions, fewer students, fewer researchers. The death of British universities will deskill the labour market and strangle innovation. So how does this square with the Government's growth priority?

This is so important. I spent my childhood visiting a library, and worked in one for ten years when I left school. We can't let them go.

I've been reading this superb book - Wifedom by Anna Funder. It's the story of George Orwell's wife - part bio, partly an exposition of how women subjugate themselves for their husbands. I urge you to read it, it is so good. And I wasn't a fan of Orwell before I started it, certainly not now.
