Edward Wright baptized #OTD 1561. In 1599 he proposes the median as a measure of central tendency & methods of variance estimation for navigational application. He is also the first (& so far only) Fellow of Caius College Cambridge to be granted sabbatical leave to be a pirate.

Whenever we see someone post that they're stopping their donation to the RNLI, like some right-wing virtue-signalling flex, we can't help but think of this. You can donate to the RNLI here: buff.ly/bsku22S
Only 1.2% of RNLI calls are for asylum seekers in the Channel — red poster arguing that cancelling RNLI donations equates to saying "I hate migrants... I'm willing to jeopardise the lives of the other 98.8% of rescues," followed by the sarcastic "Lovely people, right?"

*** Lecturer in British Romantic Literature *** £41,064 to £46,049 per annum University of Glasgow #English #poetry #romanticism #Literature #HigherEd www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DSS069/l...
Applications are invited from candidates with an appropriate record of academic achievement in English Literature, with a proven research and teaching specialism in British Romantic Literature. We especially welcome applicants working on British Romantic-period theatre and Digital Humanities, who have an appetite for academic leadership, knowledge of university systems and experience of working as part of a team within a university environment.

Candidates should have a Scottish Credit and Qualification Framework level 12 (PhD) or equivalent in English Literature, with a substantial publication profile and significant experience teaching and supervising within the subject area in higher education.

English Literature is a subject that works closely with the School of Critical Studies’ other subject areas of English Language and Linguistics, Scottish Literature and Theology and Religious Studies. The School is also home to programmes in Creative Writing and in Global Communications. In its research, the School fosters excellent connections with collaborators across Glasgow and beyond, and English Literature colleagues work actively and impactfully with local partners towards public engagement with their research and publications. The study of the Romantic period is a particular strength of English Literature at the University of Glasgow, and this post will enhance that profile.

Informal enquiries should be directed to the English Literature Head of Subject Professor Stephen Burn (Stephen.Burn@glasgow.ac.uk)

Visit our website for further information about the University of Glasgow and the School of Critical Studies www.gla.ac.uk/schools/critical.

Closing date: 9th September 2026 at 23:45

We believe that we can only reach our full potential through the talents of all. Equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of our values. teristics who are under-represented within the University.
