Collini says Humanities ECAs shouldn’t rush to publish (“weak publications stay on your CV”). But how do you get a secure academic job in your discipline when this is the main selection criteria? Slow scholarship is the prerogative of financial privilege. #ECAsurvival

Thank you Italian Cultural Association Exeter and Devon Development Education for helping us tell these stories!

Want to be part of the only national festival of the humanities? Being Human’s 2019 call for participation is open on this year’s theme ‘Discoveries & Secrets’. Think codebreaking, Trojan horses, secret archives – the possibilities are endless! More at beinghumanfestival.org/apply/

Scenes from academic life: working with a (female) colleague on a paper on academic identities, senior (male) academic enters the room. 'So what's your paper on, high fashion?' *Stifle chuckle, gag reflex, more violent reflexes. And how's your academic identity today?

Gutted I cannot be there today, but look forward to some engaged discussions in the future - we need more of this.

A proud best friend moment.

One day left until Being Human Festival and @UofEHumanities literary appetite whetting #BookHunt kick off! Tune in tomorrow for clues!

Call for ECR support! Any senior colleagues (ed research academics) who are attending #BERA2021 Conference have an hour on the afternoon of the 15th to join the discussion on early ed research careers (and alternatives)? Thank you!

Huge honour to be a part of an incredible group of women discussing hugely important issues surrounding the state of academia and access to/make-up of the profession. Thanks @skylerehawkins and Dr Orly Siow for getting me involved and launching the conversation.

My contribution to BISA - British International Studies Association hosted blog series on intersections of precariousness of early academic careers just out: tinyurl.com/2ab6jf7k. In many ways a continuation of our conversation at @BERAHighEd and BERA Early Career Researcher Network that we hope incorporates as many voices as possible.

An opportunity to join me and some great people working in humanities and social sciences at the Faculty of Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences on developing and furthering engaged and impactful research. jobs.exeter.ac.uk/hrpr_webrecrui…
