Thank you very much @ScottishStudies for this honour! Some good news in troubled times @HistoryatVic @PalgraveHistory

If you destroy the humanities now, it will take decades to build them back up. And in those decades the technocrats will dumb us down and wipe us out.

I resigned from VUW but still supervise my PhD students for free. Now their VUW-based co-supervisors might lose their jobs. Who’s going to do the supervising now? Is VUW going to rely solely on unpaid labour to get their students through?

[Dr. Cherie Chu-Fuluifaga @ChuFuluifaga]

I spoke to a doctoral student originally from AUT where he lost two supervisors due to$ cuts. He is at Vic uni now and he could lose his current supervisors.Impact is real.
We can't keep going like this! @jantinetti

Wise words from my dear friend & colleague. Aching for all my VUW colleagues suffering this week. What a disaster for Aotearoa.

In underfunding universities, we have so much to lose https://t.co/mBDvQ4PNpK

Pretty grim end to the trimester at @vicuniwgtn. Our community is hurting. Nearly two in every dozen folk will soon lose their jobs, across both academic and professional staff. Programmes will be cut or downsized. Severe austerity will be inevitable.

[Geoff McLay @GeoffMcLay1]

New Zealand has great universities, they are the work of generations, our collective future depends on making even better, not killing them through a thousand cuts

As Jeremy Clarkson should well know - words have consequences. The words in his piece are no joke - they’re dangerous and inexcusable. We are in an epidemic of violence against women and girls and men with powerful voices must do better than this. https://t.co/TXq8XndPec

@lottelydia @agnesjuliet Shocking. In NZ I’ve had two “dating scans” at 7-8 weeks on the public system. I didn’t need to ask and I had no particular need. While these scans are not routine, they are free and seem to be easy to access.
