Restructures treat departments as interchangeable boxes on a chart, but staff hold deep local knowledge, research networks and community links that can’t be ‘reallocated’ overnight. Once that’s broken, it’s hard to rebuild. That’s why staff must have a real say in any changes.

The CFP deadline for our Brontë Studies special issue on poetry is coming up - 1st April! Don’t be a fool - submit something!

I’m pleased to say that we’re advertising for a permanent lectureship in early modern English Literature (grade 7). I’m happy to answer any questions via email. Please circulate.

We are thrilled to share today's blog by Caroline Lucas, Britain’s first Green MP:

'Literature is the way we exercise the muscle of the imagination... And unless we can imagine a greener, fairer world, we’ll struggle to achieve it.'

: Half of UK universities face a deficit next year. Up to 50 could close.

That is a sector in crisis. Simply blaming a tuition fee freeze and nudging fees up with inflation is not a plan. Where is the long-term strategy for higher education?

Job losses at research-intensive universities double in two years - Research Professional News Exclusive: Scale of redundancies revealed branded a “disaster” for UK research capacity

Job losses at UK research-intensive universities double in two years.

Exclusive: Scale of redundancies branded a “disaster”.

Concerned that the UK—not the US, which remains far more resilient than everyone thinks—is the test case for what happens when you build a system of mass higher education then take it apart: it has happened far more quickly and is far more fragile here.
