Australian Catholic University condemned over ‘totally indefensible’ cuts to humanities programs theguardian.com/australia-news…

@mcassidywelch @ANZAMEMS @MedievalAcademy @RoyalHistSoc @CatholicUniv @HumanitiesAU @KU_Leuven @AustHistAssoc I am saddened by and angry at this terrible news. Why would you discontinue a wonderful programme with world-leading scholars working on topics to which, of all institutions, a Catholic university is expected to be making a decisive contribution?

I want to draw attention to the brilliant work done by my colleagues in @ACUmedia MEMS whose livelihoods are now imperilled by the decision to disband our programme. First up, Andrew McKenzie-McHarg on Jesuits and their historic associations with Regicide brill.com/view/journals/…

Please sign this open letter to the ACU executive protesting the disestablishment of their MEMS research program. Please also retweet widely. DO NOT let this be your only action though! Continue to send your personal remonstrances to the people listed in the next tweet (1/2)

This is a short-sighted decision that places a high-performing, unique centre of MEMS research in Australia under threat of extinction. Please like & retweet @mcassidywelch's post & most importantly, follow her advice on who to email your protests to. Be noisy #medievaltwitter!

New round of scholarship opportunities for funded PhD, MPhil, and DMin places at Australian Catholic University! Sign up to find out more at our virtual open days on 14 and 15 Sept: acu.edu.au/research-and-e…
