UK Lecturers Strike | UCU Strike 2018 | PhD Vlog

In February and March 2018, UK university students will face significant disruption due to strike action taken by the University and College Union (UCU). I wanted to do a quick PhD vlog which gives a little bit of an insight into why I am striking as well as the potential damage that the current USS pensions dispute could cause to university education in the UK.

Would be really interesting to have a decent debate about this in the comments, I'm sure there's plenty of people out there with far more info that me.

If you're affected by the current strike action, then you can find more information about why lecturers are on strike on the UCU website here: www.ucu.org.uk/why-we-are-taking-action-over-USS

There is also a tool to enable you to quickly and easily send an email to the Vice Chancellor of your university here: www.ucu.org.uk/studentvoice

If you've enjoyed this video then please do check out the rest of my channel where I put out a whole range of videos discussing theatre and playwriting from the perspective of an aspirant and (some might say) emerging playwright and theatre maker as well as reflecting on my experience as a PhD Student.
