Since it seems like these classics from the bad place are re-circulating here, I humbly present my most (only?) viral post to date: types of political theory paper…

A comic depicting 12 different types of political theory paper, with titles poking fun at different types of paper.

Damn. I sure hope this isn’t a systemic issue across the UK where Oxford is the most egregious example of using “prestige” to exploit workers… www.yusufimaadkhan.com/posts/lseucu...

Interactive chart showing number of fixed term and permanent academic staff at Oxford. Is a time series. Permanent staff are like 2300 in 21/22 and fixed term are around 4500

Interactive chart showing proportion of fixed term staff among academic stuff at Oxford and a few other universities + Russell group average. It’s a time series. Oxford is selected and staying just below 70% between 2014/15-2021-22

Great big chart showing % of fixed term staff at higher education institutions across the UK using HESA data. X axis is %. Y axis is the year (but as a categorical variable). It’s a jittered chart. So each year has all its observations plonked on top of a box plot so you can see the distribution. The Russell group universities are coloured red. Patterns are similar each year with median not shifting much. The title reads “The Russell Group tends to have a higher proportion of staff on fixed term contracts”
