I’ve just added my voice to this consultation saying I don’t want a situation in which staff and fellow swimmers might scrutinise or judge my body, or anyone else’s, when I use the ponds. The current policy of trans inclusion works perfectly well. You can fill out the consultation linked below.

I think something probably needs to be done about the other seminar series, frankly.... All their speakers this semester are white men. The last 11 of 12 of their seminars up to this point were also given by white men. 8/10 of their convenors are white men... Other historians of religion do exist...

thanks for flagging Jo. Have also written to Claire L to protest the event, as it does not reflect well on the IHR broadly...

thanks for clarifying Nicola (and sorry for quite erroneously asserting that this was being organised by you all and not acknowledging that it was also a Religious History seminar event- I should have read my email more carefully before posting)

As some of you were aware, the name of the IHR Tudor and Stuart seminar was recently attached to a day conference that included David Starkey in its line-up. That will no longer be the case going forward.

Come listen to me talk about religious certificates next week! Featuring a fun mix of stranger churches’, recusant, and Church of England approaches to religious paperwork.

innit just.

lol, not ideal.

i mean they can't have been unaware of the line up before this was circulated under their name though, surely...

Yeah i'm fuming Laura.

Meh it wouldn't shock me if he was a "we shouldn't cancel people" kinda guy

bloody hell i see Tudor/Stuart seminar at the IHR have David Starkey on their line up for a conference.... if I needed a reminder of why I unsubscribed from that mailing list...! lol!

The 17th-century woman who wrote about surviving domestic abuse In the 17th century, Anne Wentworth spoke out against her abusive husband and the religious institution that protected him.

Women have been speaking out about abuse for centuries! I wrote about Anne Wentworth, a 17th-century survivor of domestic abuse, for @theconversation.com #earlymodern

How would this ridiculous process even be any quicker?! Wtf would copilot even be doing that would save you time after you have summarised the essay and then told it which of the criteria were met and to what percentage. Absolute garbage - @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social do better.

Screenshot. King's College London page. Examples of effective practice The following scenarios follow the above guidelines and offer insights into ways that academic staff can use AI transparently and in an assistive capacity, always ensuring human oversight and judgment remain central. Scenario A – Scaling feedback while maintaining quality Lecturer A is responsible for marking over 100 essays within a two-week window. Conscious of the limitations this workload places on the depth of individual feedback, they adopt a hybrid approach using their university’s approved or supported LLM tool, Copilot. Without ever uploading student work directly, Lecturer A composes an anonymised summary for each student, noting which marking criteria were met and the approximate percentage achieved for each. They input this summary alongside the official rubric into Copilot, prompting it to generate supportive, criterion-referenced feedback. This feedback is then carefully reviewed, adapted, and personalised before being uploaded to the marking platform. Students are made aware of this process in advance and shown a demonstration, reinforcing transparency and trust.

Simply astonishing. Maybe Lecturer A should not have to mark over 100 essays in a two-week window in the first place? Invest in qualified staff and reduce impossible workloads FFS www.kcl.ac.uk/about/strate...
