“The University has paid a private consulting company KPMG to produce a report to justify redundancies, which they are refusing to share with the trade unions.” Would love to know how much money uni leaders across UK have spent on consultants rather than talking to staff about workloads & savings.

I have a wide range of public talks for history societies, lifelong learning groups, schools and community groups. I also sing the ballads I study. Also, if anyone is in need of a soprano soloist, I’m a trained singer. Thank you in advance for any connections, advice, or opportunities you can offer.

Jenni Hyde @wallyberry.bsky.social · 07/06/2024

I can do palaeography from 16th century secretary hand onwards, and any general research work you might need doing. I am a highly skilled editor and proofreader and I could turn my hand to an index if you like.

Jenni Hyde @wallyberry.bsky.social · 07/06/2024

Hi everyone - I am looking for work to supplement the two days I will have at Lancaster University from August and would appreciate your support. I’m close to Lancashire Archives if anyone needs any work doing there, or I can travel to other archives.

Jenni Hyde @wallyberry.bsky.social · 30/05/2024

So come August, with one of my Lancaster posts being made redundant, I’ll be looking for work. If you’ve got any research you need doing (palaeography included), I’m available. Let me know. Also on the off chance that anyone needs a soprano soloist, that’s me too.

The premodern world held possibilities and imagined futures: the physical and metaphysical systems that were actively built and contested then continue to inform the world in the present. Read our statement on the value of Renaissance & Premodern Studies: www.rensoc.org.uk/statement-on...
