this is the 50% or more wfh map from 2021 so will be very interesting to see what all this does to long term labour market trends

The academic parent gut punch when filling out emergency contact info

Your little line doesn't leave me enough room to write: "actually, no we don't have an additional emergency contact bc I 'went where the job was' thank you very much I will go cry & dwell on my mortality now"

Genuinely bitter that people are insisting on doing things in person-only again. Was really hoping the accessibility of virtual events would be embraced as a part of this new pandemicine normal, but...

Fascinating new edited book on the changing geographies of work after Covid-19. #OpenAccess @theRSAorg @routledgebooks

Holloway said that “Managing the university throughout the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us to be more flexible, resourceful and resilient while staying focused on what matters most to our students, faculty, staff and the communities we serve.”

Remote work removes the ability to seem productive (by sitting at your desk looking stressed or always being on the phone), and crucially reveals how many bosses and managers simply don’t contribute to the bottom line.

Incredibly useful conversations for the last 2 days at #LevelUpEd conf.
Thank you to all who joined & presented! And to @EricRoyalLybeck for pulling us all together!

At the @EducationUoM Levelling Up conference @EricRoyalLybeck says a huge part of the civic agenda, including levelling up, needs to be academics relearning how to communicate with people who are not academics. Professional language can be a form of exclusion. @AcademicCollege

[Steven Jones @StevenJones_MCR]

Perfect venue for Day 2 of @EricRoyalLybeck’s #LevellingUp conference, with @DrewWhitworth1 about to address a lecture theatre so traditional that even the graffiti is elegant.

[Mike Ratcliffe @mike_rat]

So, this is interesting. Just as ministers go on about sitting in lectures and that exams are best - discussion that #LevellingUp may be best served by innovation in pedagogy and assessment.
