We summarized the Drain paper in an LSE Impact blog post this week. Please share in your networks, ideally with those we are calling to action: research funders and university leadership

We asked ARC residents and users if they'd like to take part in a photography project to help us capture life in the ARC. We gave participants a single use film camera for a day, with the task to take photos of whatever they liked in the building.
Here are the results...
The article’s title is misleading - there is nothing, even metaphorically, about design, and it’s far from the original research title “Who are learning designers in post-pandemic Australasian universities?”.

Today at #ISATT2025, I presented an ideation project that connected my lived experiences as a youth trainer in European #NonFormalEducation with my current PhD study on teaching development of UK #HE lecturers. Thanks for the chance to think out loud! @isatt2025.bsky.social @uofglasgow.bsky.social

Curious if such attack will redirect international students to the UK, as it was already seen in the recent enrolling undergrad student numbers 🤔
Exactly. Such meaningless new immigration rules aimed at reducing legal migration from the recent white paper can only do harm to the drowning HE sector and stagnating UK economy, not even speaking about losing thousands of skilled potential researchers aspiring to continue their careers in the UK.

UCU Campaign for GTAs Calling for Fair Pay, Equal Pay, Secure Pay
Fair pay: To eliminate the endemic overworking of GTAs expected to perform tasks not within those stipulated as their responsibility in their employment contracts – particularly, but not limited to, extra administrative work and contributions to the creation of course content.
Equal pay: To raise allocated preparation time to a reasonable level which truly represents the work that GTAs must devote to delivering pedagogically sound teaching. There should be transparency of workload models for GTAs, e.g. preparation time, marking time and end discrepancies in pay rates and time allocations for different tasks across colleges.
Secure pay: To ensure all GTAs are issued initially with two-year contracts, as per the University’s policy.
🚨 Support our Graduate Teaching Assistants!
This year has seen a spate of cuts in real terms to GTA pay and conditions across many departments that left an already underpaid and overworked workforce at breaking point.
Sign our petition to support crucial staff: speakout.web.ucu.org.uk/gta-glasgow/
Our members have been making the trip to join and support @ducuuo.bsky.social members on the picket lines
Extra important given the recent announcement of 632 jobs losses #StopTheCuts #savejobs #dogsonpicketlines

Mmm, 'democratic collapse and persecution of marginalised groups could lead to more international students for the UK' is quite the good news story.
Every cloud... ☁️ 😫

No way, UKRI-funded PhD students are now eligible for a stipend that matches the national minimum-wage level - an unseen generosity! 🤑
I mean, having more money than less money is always good news (not for me already though), but I can't think how this can be celebrated at all.
It's funny how @uofglasgow.bsky.social School of Education PGR community is always more than you think! 😅
@laviniahirsu.bsky.social
Thank you @conicarde.bsky.social and Diana for the opportunity to gather and talk through the issues of SoE PGRs as well as source suggestions together 🕊️

⚠️ 2 out of 3 doctoral researchers do NOT find opportunities to teach at their HEIs.
Honestly, it is very worrisome to find such a trend among HEIs, which would rather overload salaried staff with extra teaching rather than employ GTAs and put efforts into developing a new generation of faculty. 😡
