If I hear the term "self-plagiarism" one more time I'm going to get punchy. If your program asks the same question of the same student in multiple courses... that's not the student's fault. If they take their own work and improve it... that's called improvement.

I assume the academic free speech folk will be up in arms against the government Equalities Minister, who has essentially just told schools & universities they're not allowed to teach a well-respected theory in social sciences.

I've seen a lot of people weighing in on this in lots of ways, but here's my story. No, I don't agree we should set aside confidentiality rules if a student is struggling. Here's why: 1/n

That man in the WSJ claiming his not using the title Dr (because HE DOES NOT HAVE A DOCTORATE, ONLY AN HONORARY ONE) justifies asking Dr Jill Biden to drop it bc of her MD is everyone's uncle who asks you why you're still at university. Fuck off.

Breaking my hiatus on this account to say that I have had to back out of #IMC2021 and my paper I think will be read out in the Weds a.m. slot. Had 2 family members in hospital this week and should have both home by later today! Hope it goes well for everyone.

After 5 years of lecturing at Swansea and Durham, I’m officially unemployed from October. Two amazing jobs + a career I’m not ready to give up on yet. Does anyone have 1) advice to maintain my employment prospects, or 2) any leads on possible opportunities? #AcademicChatter 1
