Conversely I love this because it gives you a reading list for the field and helps you see what you might have missed.

More on the destruction of MqUni Arts. Every PoC in Sociology has been sacked or pushed into teaching only. Only 1 woman left in Politics & Intl Relations, & 1 in Sociology. At least 3/9 sacked academics are neurodiverse. Several successful researchers have been sacked or made teaching only. 2/2

But how do you even stop this? If my uni told me this, I’d be very happy to remove their bi-line from the remainder of things I produce that year. Are they going to fire me for writing too much?
