When I was creative writing editor of UEA's student paper, I received a fantastic poem titled 'Angostura Bitters' from a 1st year student named Gboyega Odubanjo. He kept submitting poems and I kept including them in every issue because they were better than everything else I got
Rest in Power, Gboyega! You were one of the kindest people. Full of grace & warmth ✨️. I will miss you, & I am sending all my love to your family/friends in this difficult time. ❤️
We still have places available on our degrees with English Literature, Drama and Creative Writing @uniofeastanglia through #Clearing2023! Come and join us in our lovely #CityOfStories…
Reminder for CfP! 🩸

Past and present students of UEA, please consider signing and sharing. We are fighting for our livelihoods and for the future of the disciplines. Thank you.
The proposed cuts at UEA do not have to happen. The Arts and Humanities faculty does not have to be targeted in this way. UEA is still a very rich university ...for some. UEA writers: please sign & share our open letter to UEA's (mis)managers: https://t.co/KubVP8fMnm Thank you!
UEA Vice Chancellor David Maguire examines closely the evidence of a shipwreck. He then leaves the meeting with the UEA Executive Team and checks out the Gloucester exhibition
🚨Our @UEA_UCU branch has served the University of East Anglia with an official notice that the branch will take a day of strike action on Wednesday 12th July 2023.
The dispute includes our position of zero compulsory redundancies.

Admit that this is truly a God-tier line up. We put this together for you and said: No charge; we work magic because we love you.
Sincerely yours, UEA Arts & Humanities.
Still a little amazed - in an angry, not at all amazed kind of way - that @uniofeastanglia senior mngmnt looked at these options:
1. Reduce their own salaries to £100k, still more than 3x the HOUSEHOLD median in the UK
2. Fire loads of people
And went for option 2.
@djtaylorwriter Thank you David; the amount of money we as a School have to save to avoid any redundancies could be covered by a 10% pay cut by senior management 😩
