Since January 2022, we (me, 93% Club & SS) have been working a project that tackles accent bias in Higher Education, focusing on the 'elite' institution where we're based. Today, we're launching the project website which brings together all our work:

Everyday is more depressing than the last in UK HE.
I am hearing that @uniofnottingham.bsky.social is suspending (i.e shutting down) *all modern language courses* in 2026-27. One of the largest departments in the UK. A shocking short sighted move that damages regional and national prospects @britishacademy.bsky.social @hetanshah.bsky.social

Imagine working in a restaurant where the boss tells you the job performance is based only on tables served. But then every shift you are scheduled to the stockroom, the dishwashing station, and occasionally to like, trim the hedges outside.
Anyway. I'm an associate professor...

For those who have them, how useful have you found having a personal website? I'm thinking websites that you can essentially put your CV
Or maybe if you've been on a hiring panel - do you look at them for candidates?

Are you teaching prescriptivism this year? If so, please consider introducing your students to YourWrong.co.uk. It could form part of a seminar activity or prep! I'd also be very happy to provide some corpus examples for a small analysis task. Just get in touch!

Just came across this sentence while studying for the Life in the UK test (citizenship test): "England’s only international tournament victory was at the World Cup of 1966, hosted in the UK."
Apparently they need to read up on their own footballing history
