@Wine52HQ You said you’d set my subscription to cancel but another box of wine has just been dispatched (when I’m away, so it’ll likely be stolen by the time I get back) and I’ve been charged for it. Terrible customer service. I’ve also DMed your team (again). Please sort it out.

@CineFeline @baftss Thank you! Ha. Is it that long ago?! If nothing else, my book is testament to the value of perseverance… And that researching history means deadlines can slip without totally messing up your project… 😂

@dariodoubleL @LRB You can already see UoB’s growing obsession with gathering data (on students, staff, courses, rooms et ). There are not just pedagogical consequences, but, as you say, significant epistemological implications.

[Dr Holly Chard (she/her) @MediaDrBrighton]

@dariodoubleL @LRB This relates to what you were saying the other day

[Dr Holly Chard (she/her) @MediaDrBrighton]

@sineadlappin Aw! Thank you! 😊

[Dr Holly Chard (she/her) @MediaDrBrighton]
