Rather sadly - my first post on here is to let anyone who will listen know that English/Creative Writing at Oxford Brookes is facing massive redundancies - 40% of staff to be culled by January including my own role. Please share and support, we are trying to save our livelihoods #SaveBrookesEnglish

Calling upon anyone holding the reins in UKHE to do the right thing feels akin to that apocryphal story about the Dutch boy who tried to plug a hole in a dyke with his finger, but nonetheless, please everyone sign this, remember to like & subscribe, &c., &c.

This is our fifth yearly book list. We've collected 108 titles in total. 2021 and 2022 had lower outputs, but this year is right back up to the usual level. And these are just the ones we managed to catch. In one field. contingentmagazine.org/2023/11/27/2...

It’s alive! For my 2nd Chronicle column I tackled turning the diss into a book and, crucially, how wildly unsustainable the current publish-or-perish culture is for both scholars and publishers. We love scholarly books! Bad credentialing systems not so much though. www.chronicle.com/article/shou...
