The Power of a Humanities Degree:
5yrs on English grads ‘are making equivalent money to people from a STEM discipline. The things humanities & arts develop are things that corporations want in their employees.’ #Clearing2023 unco.edu/news/articles/power…

Useful clarification on the ‘UEA cuts Creative Writing’ story that many of us heard on @BBCRadio4 this morning.
26 Jun 2023
It's the easy angle to report. But, unfortunately, it aligns rather neatly with the management plan to cut the faculty around it.

A 'UEA scraps creative writing' story is taking hold. That's not what's happening. UEA Humanities are facing redundancies across many areas that feed a brilliant writing course (including Literature). That's *worse* in the long term because it's a culture / a mindset / a library.

We've published our new plan to take forward the @TechsCommit and @RDConcordat. Take a look if you want to see how we plan on supporting postdocs, technicians and the huge range of other roles needed for R&I.
21 Mar 2023
Today we published our People and Teams action plan. It reviews our progress against the Researcher Development Concordat & Technician Commitment and outlines our plans to continue supporting all roles and contributors necessary for a thriving R&I system: orlo.uk/E0Be8
ALT Melanie Welham, UKRI Executive Champion for People, Culture & Talent, says: “This revised plan reinforces UKRI’s commitment and ambitions for the Researcher Development Concordat and Technician Commitment. I’d like to thank our communities for their essential input to this, and their broader ongoing engagement with our People, Culture and Talent portfolio. "Taken alongside the recent announcement of a new Institute for Technology Skills and Strategy, this demonstrates significant progress in ensuring the huge range of roles which contribute to the delivery of UKRI investments are recognised and valued.”

Women who are single parents are more likely to be living in poverty & are among the hardest hit by the cost of living crisis.
We need investment in social security, an expansion of childcare & action to lift single parents out of low-paid work & poverty.#StandWithSingleParents
