Between 2016 and 2023 this sector faced a malicious government, bent on using universities and academics as an enemy. Now, we face one that is indifferent, which trots out the same holding pattern of public statements while everything burns. The entire time, students have suffered the consequences.

Lovely to see these photos of a project that gave me a lot of joy to be a part of in 2024! I'd been working as part of the UEA team on a KIX funded project exploring global responses to boys' disengagement from education. Here we are with colleagues from Cambodia, France, Malawi, and the USA.

All emails I have sent since coming back from the winter break should really have come with a 'apologies for the brevity - I have too many emails to deal with and most of them aren't really that important' notice to the recipient.

This week's internal news bulletin for staff at @uniofeastanglia.bsky.social is doing a lot of celebrating staff success, the successes of those same staff that are being placed at risk of redundancy. Make it make sense. #SaveUEA
