We are appalled that the Government is once again singling out arts & creative subjects for funding cuts in Higher Education. Many courses have already closed and a growing number are at risk. This attack on the arts must stop now. #ArtsEducationMatters theguardian.com/education/2024…

Creative Industries make up 6% of our economy. That’s more than car and oil industries together. They employ 2.3million people. To cut funding for creative arts at university level is fudge-brained, cack-hearted thinking pitched very much at the highest level of economic…

argh, haven't managed to tweet about how amazing #SEC2024 has been. I particularly loved the incredible student panel. It's no surprise to me that UG research opportunities are absolutely transformative. We need more research opportunities inside and outside of the curricula!
