My university is one of the largest employers in the county. Many of the non-academics who work here are people with caring responsibilities or school-aged children, working part-time, people with partners who are employed outside the university. The impact of job losses will be excrutiating.

I am super glad to be one of the plenary speakers at Lavender 31 in August, in such a wonderful company: @lucyjones.bsky.social, Heiko Motschenbacher & @mixosaurus.bsky.social (lavlang2025.wordpress.com/about-2/). My plenary is going to be on anti-gender far-right politics (mainly in italy/italian).
