You may well be aware of the current move to make a wide swathe of redundancies in Arts and Humanities at the University of Roehampton and to close courses. English Language and Linguistics will be drastically affected by these cuts; the MA TESOL, now in the School of Education, will also be closed.

I have written a letter the the Vice Chancellor and other relevant members of the senior leadership team, expressing shock and concern at this move and urging a rethink; you can find a copy of the letter in the "Policy Documents" section of the website. 

If you have not done so already, please consider adding your signature to the petition calling for the cuts to be reconsidered, and share the link as widely as possible to your networks.
