Happy to share our new CREST article on online polarisation. We argue that polarisation risk is not only about what is said online, but how quickly confident, highly visible voices can reshape debate. www.crestresearch.ac.uk/comment/char...

Charismatic Influencers, Certainty, and their effect on Polarisation Online

Small increases in influencer appeal and activity can produce disproportionately large effects on polarisation online, rapidly driving communities toward entrenched division.

The current situation at the University of Dundee is that we are not getting our annual pay increase and that promotion processes are paused. At the same time the uni is refusing to rule out compulsory redundancies, it is advertising over 20 new senior management jobs for academic staff.

The University of Dundee has a women problem “In our view this culture of sexism runs deeper than the sidelining of women speaking up and out and persists beyond the ignominious end of Iain Gillespie’s tenure as Principal of the university.” www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/opinion/c...

NO REDUNDANCIES at the University of Dundee. Fantastic news in our fight to save jobs, as interim Principal Prof Nigel Seaton confirms that there will be no redundancies. A massive victory for everyone who has supported us. Looking forward to receiving the removal of Section 188 in writing.

The University of Dundee is currently trying to make 100% of female research Professors in the School of Science and Engineering redundant. 100% OF FEMALE RESEARCH PROFESSORS! Only one female professor (teaching and scholarship) from that School will remain working on our UK campuses.

One of the most frustrating things about this crisis is the continually poor communication with staff and students. Reading about what is likely to happen to you in the media creates such distrust in management.

Today, Shane O’Neill, our interim Principal announced the University of Dundee needs to cut 632 jobs to be financially sustainable. Also there are 237 vacancies (in part due to the recruitment freeze since Nov). That’s 870 colleagues from 3200. OVER A QUARTER! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
