How are students #evertoexcel if their degrees are not taken seriously by universities? Gender studies is more than a maketing ploy for the @Athena_SWAN pledge, its the livelihood of many studrnts. @univofstandrews

The decision by the University of St. Andrews not to renew the contract of a female philosopher points to broader underrepresentation of women in academia, critics say.

I just signed this open letter in defense of Dr. Alison Duncan Kerr's position at @univofstandrews. Alison has single-handedly created the St. Andrews Institute for Gender Studies & made a huge difference for philosophy (and beyond) in St. A. She deserves better! #StAndWithAlison

I warmly encourage @uniofstandrews to reconsider this choice. It is already perceived, rightly or wrongly, as a conservative university for the privileged few. Taking away diversity and inclusion will send out a very negative message and undermine all the good work done.

Alison Duncan Kerr designed, created, and ran the StAIGS, the largest interdisciplinary centre at the university and the new MLitt program attached to it. She did all this on a temporary contract, expecting to be made permanent. Instead, she is now being made redundant.
