@annawoodham.bsky.social & I reflecting on the importance of recognising & supporting emotional complexities of museum work. Thanks @museumsassociation.org for featuring our opinion! www.museumsassociation.org/museums-jour...

Museum staff’s emotional wellbeing is not a side issue - Museums Association

The emotional complexities of roles aren’t recognised, say Jennie Morgan and Anna Woodham

“The University of Edinburgh has announced it plans to make £140m in cuts, equivalent to about 1,800 jobs, according to the UCU” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Thousands more university jobs cut as financial crisis deepens

University workers will vote on national strike action this month over a 1.4% pay offer made in the summer.

Are there any architects on here, or generally people who know what the feature on the bottom left of this image is. A sort of drainage archway perhaps? It’s on a Victorian former grammar school building with lots of similar holes! Many thanks.

Archway (purpose to be identified by someone) at the bottom of a building with a grate, next to steps on the outside of West Studios, Chesterfield College.

On the cusp of autumn

Jennie Morgan @drmorgan.bsky.social · 18d

lovely UG classes today on big ol’ theme of change in museology. What is it? Where do we see it (or not)? Why might it have - & still - be needed? What departures from “old” to “new”? Possibilities & constraints? Role on next weeks potted museum histories! & 1st PGT critical heritage studies classes

I've realized I didn’t share this short but, hopefully, thought-provoking text that explores the potential of #Cybermuseology. Thinking about revisiting this topic. What are your thoughts on the future of Cybermuseology?
