@UnitedKiwi @jitsnz I worked at the Royal Society at this time - Marsden has funded humanities and social sciences all along. The 2018 trial was simply testing different ways to select which grants got funded. It didn't change what subjects could be funded.

[Kate Stevens @HistoryKateS]

@UnitedKiwi @jitsnz I would also add that Marsden has been the one of, if not the main source for Humanities and Social Science funding. More widely NZ investment in research relative to GDP has long been well below OECD average.

[Kate Stevens @HistoryKateS]

@UnitedKiwi @jitsnz Marsden Fund ran a 2018 trial to see if there were more effective ways to evaluate proposals, given the process is an intensive one. The trial included the humanities, social sciences, economic & human behaviour subjects. These subjects have all been part of the fund for decades.

Gender, Violence and Criminal Justice in the Colonial Pacific: 1880-1920 by Kate Stevens uncovers the ways in which indigenous islanders, indentured labourers and other marginalized groups engaged with and transformed colonial legal practices.

#TEUonSTRIKE @waikato! Eight months of negotiations and the university has only increased their best offer by 0.1% to 2.85%. #UoWonStrike

[Tertiary Education Union @nzteu]

Our members @waikato will strike for 3.5 hours on Friday - after 8 months of negotiations, the Vice Chancellor has only moved by 0.1% despite the fact our claim fits within their budget for pay movement. https://t.co/7x4yb3oaBW

He's talking about Australian universities but this is so relevant to the dire state of New Zealand #highered, too.

[Dr. Katrin Kleemann @katrinkleemann]

I learned a lot and had great fun discussing animal and, in particular, penguin histories at the "Animal Histories" workshop at @MonashUni last night/this morning. Thanks to Rohan Howitt and @HistoryKateS for letting me participate remotely. #envhist 🐧🌊

[Kate Stevens @HistoryKateS]

@katrinkleemann @MonashUni Thank you for joining us across timezones - it was such a fascinating talk and hope we can connect more in future!

[Beverley Stevens @beverleystevens]

Let’s face it. What’s the point of staying calm when my whole network is justly up in arms as universities seek to sock it to staff.
