It's not a thing I talk about a lot, but last year I went through the *whole* process one can go through when it comes to being made redundant. I am still in post. I have no idea if my experiences are useful to others going through the same now, but if they might be, and you want to talk, reach out.

This is very good and goes in front of my MA students next term for sure. It's a lot better than the various medium posts I've written but it's reassuring to see so many people arrive at the same answer after checking. No, AI is not capable of "replacing" historians. Not even close, wrong timezone.
