Wonkhe reports BA mapping SHAPE 'cold spots' in UK including languages: "French studies...which includes French language, appears to have less geographical spread in 2022 compared to 2011. Many other languages tell a similar story." @ucflangs.bsky.social @wonkhe.bsky.social @ilcs.bsky.social

Baroness Warwick introducing Lords debate of UUK Blueprint for HE. Acknowledges tranformations being made by HEIs but sadly some cuts doing great damage "such as the worrying loss of modern foreign language programmes." Urgent need for action. @UCFLangs @ILCS_SAS @UniversitiesUK
