@MichaelRosenYes English Lit course at Huddersfield Uni is now down to two lecturers, they have had to cut one of the modules entirely because there’s no one to teach it so students are forced to take the only 3 modules available. I’ve had to transfer to a different uni for third year. Terrible.

This is why the research is so important to me. I want working class people to have a voice within the arts and not be brushed to one side because their face/voice doesn’t fit. But it isn’t important to Huddersfield because it isn’t groundbreaking engineering, I guess.
