Coomerene Muilerman-Rodrigo

Are you at #BAICE2024 this week? Our colleagues will be there. Come learn about our work!

@ddubdrahcir Are you still looking for some names?

Blog: #inclusion at the intersection of our personal and professional lives. With @Coomerene @DrJei_nee, bringing together the threads of discussion at the @Ibali_Network @OU_CSGD inclusion learning event. Thanks to all who came, contributed and inspired! wels.open.ac.uk/research/proje…

Superproud of our fantastic @OU_WELS PGRs presenting their research posters today @OUGradSch

End of first day of @OUGradSch PGR conference. Watch out for the next generation of researchers @OU_WELS !

I survived 25 years on precarious contracts, taught 1000s of students, delivered quality research: ESRC funded, government reports. My daughter still cries remembering how hard it was. @oubucu and the Open University brought 4800 of us into permanent contracts - this is do-able.

I missed processing for my brilliant student. I helped her into a PhD, she knows my action is for her future working conditions & current learning conditions. All my students are brilliant: Distinction, Pass, Failed-Because-Stuff. I want to be enabled to support them all 👩‍🎓💗✊.

We've been at the OU graduation day today, congratulating our amazing students on their extraordinary accomplishments, and spreading the word about our current round of industrial action. #ucuRISING

@ANLecturer Thank you! I wish it had been different and you were here. Good luck in Cardiff today. X

I should have been in Milton Keynes today, supporting my former student who is graduating. @Coomerene have the best day ever! 👩‍🎓🥳💗 I know you understand but I really did want to be there. I will be thinking of you 💗. #OUFamily.

#HighFemme on the picket 🌈👠😁. I'm wearing my high heels to the @oubucu #ucuRISING picket in Cardiff today.

20 days will be hard. I have a daughter at uni whose dad is also striking. I'll go to the hardship fund, especially if our employers take deductions in one lump like last time. But I won't stand by seeing my daughter's and my students' education ruined. ✊ #UnitedWeStand.

Amazing speech from @ANLecturer at the @ucu Senedd rally

Our general secretary @DrJoGrady 'Today is a historic day. This is the largest national demo our union has ever held. University bosses thought scenes like this were impossible. They were wrong' #ucuRISING

Speaking on behalf of @oubucu members @CardiffUCU #ucuRISING rally. Casualisation is a scourge. Universities can afford proper jobs. The OU just made 4800 Associate Lecturers permanent. They're now employing managers on fixed term contracts 🤯. This is about culture not finance.

Some things hit you hard 🥹 The wonderful @MargaretAtwood will not be attending graduation at St Andrews tomorrow out of solidarity for our picket lines. Thank you. This means so much to our members 💚 #ucuRISING

From one of our awesome @OpenUniversity students: "I fully support the UCU strike as lecturers are vitally important to the future of university education & deserve decent working conditions. A good lecturer can be the difference between a student passing & failing a degree” 1/2

Solidarity to @UCU members out on strike today. They have had enough of falling pay, pension cuts and gig-economy working conditions #EnoughIsEnough #ucuRISING

Today we met for the first time in person with friends and colleagues @OpenUniversity BME staff network, after working together online at a distance for years. It was so great 😍. @dapofadoju @MissRoseville.

On the road again... Well, rail 🚂. On the rails again doesn't quite 🤔 ... Off to @OpenUniversity to meet up with @dapofadoju, @MissRoseville and other colleagues. We've worked together for years but never met up in person before. So excited 🎉😊.
