Does anyone happen to know of benefactors who offer sponsorship/ #bursaries to British students who wish to study abroad. Without the #Erasmus funding some are finding it too expensive to go.
Three of my current students and one recent graduate are standing in the #LocalElections2023 Wishing them the best of luck as they wait for the votes to come in. Fantastic to see so many of you putting yourselves forward and strengthening local democracy!
Dr Sarah Lieberman offers her first thoughts on the results coming in #LocalElections2023

Really proud of the students and colleagues who made this happen #InternationalRomaniDay
In celebration of International Romani Day on 8 April, the University and @christchurchsu are proud to be flying the Romani Flag outside Augustine House. You can also explore a curated display of books about the Romani community with our @ccculibrary Team: ow.ly/lGGj50NBozY
Excellent post by my colleague David Hitchcock about why we urgently need to find a way to introduce a better model of student number controls. The system is very, very broken hitchcockian.medium.com/on-w… @UWankings @wiasnofficial @ucu

We are conducting a consultation aimed at social workers and legal professionals that can help us identify factors which may impact the over-representation of Roma children in the care system.

#ucuRISING is not only about pay. I have the privilege of a permanent contract. Too many others in this sector do not and it has to stop.

Had a great time getting the know colleagues I’d never meet otherwise. Picketing is empowering. See you all again on Wednesday!
I’m striking with a heavy heart but we are left with no other choice. HE is almost broken and this is the only way to try to reverse the decline before it’s too late.

Completely agree. How on earth can the government be planning a jolly conference as the economy implodes?
I've written to @trussliz demanding an emergency recall of Parliament following the disastrous Tory budget.
The UK economy is in crisis. All of us will pay the price as interest rates, mortgages and the cost of goods rise.
MPs should be in parliament holding the govt to account

Having been promised an energy price freeze, millions will be shocked when hit with a 25% rise in fuel bills in October.
5 million kids risk being pushed into poverty, with charities having to stop feeding the hungry so they can help the starving.
We have to act.
