Our letter requesting funded extensions has been sent by asainfo to UK Research and Innovation Arts and Humanities Research Council & Economic and Social Research Council. We received 548 signatures - great to see so much support from colleagues in UK and beyond, inc The RAI & EASA bit.ly/3h7EKW7 #anthrotwitter #AcademicChatter

I'm no fan of the US model for HE, but perhaps UK Research and Innovation could do this, rather than abandoning the current cohorts? "Instead of taking on a new class of aspiring Ph.D.s, scores of programs are extending funding to current students whose studies or job searches were disrupted."

Solidarity to all PGRs, especially those who are anxious about the coming months and for whom their PhD is the least of their concerns. You are not alone ā˜ŗļø

Today is #WorldOvershootDay - the day when we've used up the world's resources for 2021. On national levels this date varies a lot. In my country Sweden it occurs on April 6th. We're not just stealing the future - we're also stealing the present from other parts of the world.

Loved cooking up new project ideas with ace colleagues across arts, physical + social sciences today, attempting to visualise multiple legacies of Manchester’s cotton industry through experimental slow dyeing processes. So many fascinating threads to follow 🪔 more soon!
