If you've not checked out the @PeoplesPlans plans website recently, it's well worth a look/losing yourself for hours. Colleagues have done a great job of pulling things together as the project comes to a close: https://t.co/bQJ3PHbnSn

.@RoyalHistSoc has today issued a statement on the proposed cuts and closures @oxfordbrookes in #History & other depts https://t.co/Igp8NHLqnu

These cuts are extensive. They risk the future of staff students, and the very research culture for which Brookes historians are known.
