I’ve just had a lovely email from a postgrad student in another department, thanking me for putting my name to the letter, and saying that there are lots of them out there who are scared by the proposed changes to the GRA, and also scared to speak up. It makes me really sad that it has come to this. But this is why it’s important that we have spoken out, and that we should continue to do so. Our universities are failing students, and failing society.
Seek - have you watched the video of Kathleen Stock’s WPUK speech? There’s a bit in there about the shaming of women who speak out about this, and how that’s used as a tactic. I found the whole speech really helpful in gearing myself up to this.
