You are invited to the Arts and Humanities Network!
Hi everyone! I hope you are having a great week :)
I am just popping in to let you know about a new scheme on the Scholar's Network that I hope you will get involved with! The subject lead initiative is a new concept all about linking scholars from specific disciplines together though networking, webinars, and mutual support. The cool bit is that the Arts and Humanities is starting it all, with subject leads expanding to other areas if all goes well.
To kick this all off, you do not really need to do much. A WhatsApp group is currently being set up to get all current scholars into one place. If your research or degree is based in the arts and humanities (your university does not matter), you can join by messaging me (Cath) on the Scholar's Network.
Once we have enough people in the group I will be able to organise a networking session where we can all meet! It would be great to see as many people get involved as possible to make this pilot successful.
Even if the group is not relevant to you, please share this post to your university cohort to see if anyone else is interested. It would be great to have as many people as possible to great a massively diverse network.
I hope you see you on the chat and please message me if you have any questions!

Arts and Humanities Subject Lead
I am an alumni of the University of York where I received a BA (Hons) degree in English Literature and Linguistics. I was the Arts and Humanities Subject Lead on the Laidlaw Scholar's Network and the 2020-22 Arts and Humanities Undergraduate rep at the University of York.
After graduating from York I went to the University of Oxford to read for an MPhil in Linguistics, Philology, and Phonetics. After 2 years of study at Oxford I work full time in a school and also work on the HEnabled podcast, which aims to showcase the experiences of people with disabilities and long-term health conditions within the British Higher Education system. If you study or have studied at a British University and have a disability or long term-health condition, then I would love to have you on as a guest! Email henabled@gmail.com to get in touch.

Amazing idea !
Right? I can't wait to see if the scheme can be extended to cover more areas soon! :)
