Saddened to have learnt this news today! A brilliant scholar. york.ac.uk/history/about/…

Incredibly sad as we face 6 more redundancies in History at UoLincoln on top of the loss of 3 valued colleagues (via voluntary severance). We've always punched above our weight in terms of research + teaching and this is such a sad comment on all of that work and UK HE overall.

.Royal Historical Society has been speaking this week to historians University of Lincoln, UK and will be contacting university senior managers. The Society visited historians at Lincoln in May 2022: it's a v. impressive department with vital ties to the region in terms of students, teaching & research.
