What Are the Different Kinds of College Faculty?

@katyjordan.bsky.social

On a related note, I had a nice conversation with a taxi driver today who asked if I was a professor - I said no but I'd be an assistant prof in the US - & he said on that basis, I should definitely consider myself to be a professor :-)

What does it mean to be a "contingent" scholar? Aren't all professors the same? We've got a piece to help you understand that. And it's why our whole magazine exists, actually.

Their jobs and salaries may differ, but you should still call them "Professor."

Oh my goodness, how have I missed this? Actual data on the north-south dividing line in the UK based on actual data about Greggs vs Pret, Waitrose vs Morrisons, and household income. TL;DR it is pretty close to Watford Gap / Severn-Wash line.
