Teach Inn at the Packhorse

UCU have arranged a series of alternative teach-ins during the course of their strike action. This series is open to all: students, non-academic staff, and academic staff.

"We hope that this series will help us to learn about each other, the issues we face and will allow us to come to a better mutual understanding to help us build strength and solidarity. Thus, some talks are intended to be tasters for different academic disciplines while others address the current dispute and general conditions in higher education more specifically." - Royal Holloway UCU
