Really good talk for #UK #LGBTHistoryMonth at #UniversityOfYork about her book "Before #Gender
Lost stories from #trans #history 1850-1950" By Eli Erlick https://elierlick.com/beforegender/

I keep seeing placements for #phd researchers to go on placements for ~3 months. They sound like exciting things, particularly for researchers new to the jobs market. Although not for me, I keep getting struck by the number that offer no fee.
While if it’s part of a course for taught programmes, or contributing to research, that’s fine. But blanket “come work for us for three months cause we are great” — that seems incredibly financially discriminatory. #AcademicChatter #UniversityOfYork #UCU @ucu @ucupostgrads

Good joint #UCU #Unison and #Unite #Union meeting today at #UniversityOfYork

Creating #tactile #graphics for #VisuallyImpared #students by Lilian Joy, #UniversityOfYork Digital #Accessibility Unit https://blogs.york.ac.uk/digital-accessibility/2025/03/03/creating-tactile-part-1/ #blind

Just been doing some prep work for a talk I'm going to be doing at our Student Union's Student Conference titled:

What is open source & why should I care? | Repairing our relationship with tech (and Europe)

I'll be covering a broad range of topics around the importance of promoting FOSS, especially in the public sector but also at a personal level: examining the damaging impacts that huge corporate monopolies have on our planet, our governments and, perhaps most importantly, us.

I'm hoping it'll help spread awareness about the benefits of open source to a wider audience so if you're at the #UniversityOfYork #UoY then come along! 🙂

Sorry to hear #LongBoi #duck at #UniversityOfYork appears to be missing, presumed end of life.

Now on YouTube: Celebrating #Diversity Events Series and LGBT+ History Month 2023 #LGBTplusHM the #UniversityOfYork invited the writer and historian Kit Heyam to discuss their latest book Before We Were #Trans : A New #History of #Gender - a global history of gender #nonconformity and a call for new approaches to trans history. Kit read from their book and spoke about the ideas that inspired it, as well as sharing stories of trans history from across the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFEVAM-czDM
