Dear WIGS Colleagues
I am dropping you a line as the rep for Germanic and Low Countries on the UCML's exec.
The new Chair of UCML, Prof. Claire Gorrara (Cardiff), is seeking input via a survey. If WIGS members want to write directly to me ([log in to unmask]) with any input to the following 3 questions, that would be most helpful. I would stress that I am definitely not trying to bypass Henriette Louwerse (Chair of ALCS), Brigid Haines (Chair of WIGS) or Margaret Littler (Chair of AGS) and have written to them to agree this plan of action. It seems a way of streamlining the process when there are other feedback exercises currently ongoing (for example for REF2021)!
Any short replies to me, please, by 5 October (the UCML deadline, for me to feed this forward, is 15 Oct).
Here are the questions:
1) What are the priority issues for the modern languages community that you think UCML should address over the coming 18 months to two years? Please list your top 3
Your answer
2) Priority issues: What are the priority issues for modern languages for you as an organisation/network/university/devolved nation? Please list your top 3
Your answer
3) Suggestions for positive actions/new developments. What are your suggestions for positive actions or developments that could support modern languages across the UK?
With thanks and best wishes for the new academic year
