VP Postgraduate Students @ Cardiff Students' Union // IL Myfyrwyr Ôl-Raddedig @ Undeb Myfyrwyr Caerdydd (she/her//ei/hi)
Cardiff
Joined August 2013
Despite calls to reinstate PGR tutor opportunities in @CUSocSci, the School stands by its decision to rob their PGRs of income and experience. Interesting that less than a year after securing proper contracts the School no longer wants to employ PGRs to teach...🤔 🧵1/4

Im sorry what @JoStevensLabour @AnnaMcMorrin @SDoughtyMP @ABarrosCurtis As someone who is applying to do their PhD at @cardiffuni and needs disabled parking, surely this cannot be enforced
Cardiff Council’s proposed blanket ban on student parking is easily one of the most egregiously age-discriminatory things I’ve seen in three decades of knocking about universities

Does Cardiff have an issue with street parking? Yes. But @cardiffcouncil @huwthomas_Wales discriminatory policy is not the answer. Students bring so much to our city, and your potential punitive measures are a disgrace.

🚨Last night at @cardiffstudents AGM, ~800 students unanimously voted to support our PhD tutors and demonstrators. 🚨 This sends a clear message to @cardiffuni: both undergrads and postgrads value their teaching and oppose cuts to PhD tutors positions ✊

🔔It’s a common misconception that Cardiff’s student services only cater to taught students – this is false.🔔 Research students can access most support services on offer, and many have dedicated PGR contacts. Full list:

We’re here to help you succeed and make the most of your student life. Our free, confidential support services are based in the Centre for Student Life.
