On behalf of @UCFLangs and as a passionate advocate for the teaching and learning of languages, cultures and societies at HE level, I implore @aberdeenuni to find an alternative solution. The languages community are happy to help.

BREAKING: @aberdeenuni's Modern Languages department could be axed due to declining student numbers, senior managers told "aghast" staffers Monday. The move comes as news of a £15 million budget shortfall was announced yesterday. gaudie.co.uk/post/modern-la…

Well, what an evening hosting the marvellous @wmarybeard in @UniversityLeeds @LeedsClassics tonight for her Alice Bacon lecture. Even more of a fan now than ever. No industrious diligence here. Sheer brilliance and flair. Thank you, Mary.

Goodbye to the Headship until August. Looking forward to getting back into projects and having the enjoyment of new ones. Thanks to my lovely colleagues @LCSLeeds @LeedsUniAHC for the journey so far. I confess to feeling a little like my office plant: refreshment much needed!
