Well, hello Bluesky. I am just a Professor in #Media and #Communications at Uni of #Surrey, who's new here, scarred by The Other Place, absolutely loving the feel on here, spooked by how it reminds me of what The Other Place used to feel like when all was good. All the Feelings!

Very worthwhile initiative, with rather depressing results. Here’s a taster: if you’re Scottish and are interested in language or literature, you’re essentially screwed unless you can get into one of the ancients or are happy to leave (and can afford to do so).

Map of higher education provision for English Language and Literature and for Linguistics in the UK, excluding higher-tariff institutions. It shows basically no options for students in Scotland.
