@UnaMcIlvenna @UniMelb I am so sorry to hear this Una. I have always admired you and your work. You have so many amazing accomplishments.

Today marks my last day of my 5 year contract at @unimelb. The uni created a permanent position around my teaching and research, but then gave it to someone else. So I’m leaving academia. 🧵

“It’s not only possible to study outside of academia—it may be impossible to study within it. And if the university has grown inhospitable to the humanities, perhaps scholars can smuggle them out, book by book, one affordable seminar at a time.” edsurge.com/news/2021-12-0…

Looking forward to travels through Jefferson’s gardens at Monticello and Poplar Forest next week. Join me.

@SimonDuring Most of my extended family are working class. Humanities are empowering. Working class friends and family are there to knock you off your humanities high horse, keep you grounded and able to debate in plain language

@Duncanivison @nickdirks @evelynwelch2013 @Phil_Baty Good to see a philospher talking with an art historian about jumping over the ditch that divides

I am really looking forward to speaking tonight (10pm Sydney time!) with @nickdirks @evelynwelch2013 @Phil_Baty about the role of the humanities in a post-covid world & in helping achieve the UN SDGs. It's time to ditch the HASS/STEM divide for one thing...#THEinnovation

The Right-Wing Medievalist Who Refused the Loyalty Oath Superb article by ⁦@SimonDuring⁩ Sadly, Simon, you are right, but so few accept the fact that by not speaking out they are participating in the break up of the real university. chronicle.com/article/the-ri…
