NUQualSIG annual symposium today and it was fantastic! Fascinating to hear about the creative qualitative research happening across Northeast England. And just lovely to indulge in a day talking about qualitative research. Thank you to my fellow organisers and the presenters 😊💐 See ya next year.
Some of the organising committee came together to say our pennies worth re: the quick and dirty and the downright filthy end of qualitative research: discussing masquerades, fit for purpose research and the value and learning we can get from all levels of richness #nuqualsig25 -thanks for having us!

A wee pre-Christmas get-together in the Cheviots this past weekend. We were soaked and thoroughly buffeted, but that just made relaxing by the fire at the hostel all that more enjoyable.

This is incredibly sad for the staff and students, and also the wider community. I obtained my doctorate from Dundee, so there is a personal sense of sadness too.

Dundee University staff were told this week the institution, established in 1881, could close within 2 years without urgent cuts. www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/dund...
EXCLUSIVE: Staff warned Dundee University 'could close in two years'
The remark was allegedly made when maintenance and operations staff met with the director of estates.
