Looks exciting!
Ragna’s Islands is a new research project built around a new annotated translation of The Saga of the Earls of Orkney (Orkneyinga Saga) by @JudithJesch due for publication in 2025. In the build up to publication we are researching the place-names of Orkney.

So great to speak to students today and play this fun % quiz game about the reasons why we are on strike. Respect to the student who guessed that SMT awarded themselves a 71% pay rise last year, wouldn’t put it past them 😂

It's Friday, it's five o clock and we smashed through our £10,000 donations threshold in TWO DAYS. Thirty-two pledgers still to donate. We still need that, because the action continues. But your MAB committee are all going off for a cry, a a glass of pop and a lie down.

#RememberWhen ? Its now? Turns out *today* is Great Wage Theft day at @KeeleUniversity Payslips have dropped and disproportionate punishing deductions are here. You think you can break us. But we're #StillHere #SettleTheDispute @UCU

For @UCU day of action, we're sharing a retrospective of 5 years of industrial action. We never wanted it this way but unfortunately intransigent employers @KeeleUniversity & their overpaid wonks in @UCEA1 and @UniversitiesUK made it like this. #StillHere #SettleTheDispute

Graduation strike day two. Having some great picket line conversations with students and their families (and a 🐿️). The university needs to play fair in our next negotiation meeting. Reduce the extreme and punitive indefinite MAB deductions, or face escalating disruption.

ON STRIKE! Keele members at graduation today celebrating students while letting the university know we will not accept their indefinite 50% MAB deductions. @KeeleUniversity must stop inflicting this disproportionate financial hardship on staff, or face ongoing disruption.

We have notified @KeeleUniversity of strike days over graduation next week. We expected to hear a new offer from the university to reduce the punishing 50% indefinite MAB deductions this week. The university is fast running out of time to stop the strikes. #settlethedispute
