On a more positive note, I can't imagine why I would have been awarded a Teaching Fellowship if the plan was to get rid of me. Also I am multi skilled and therefore adaptable. Perhaps I could be redeployed to another course if the worse does come to the worse. It would be such a shame because DFSA is a damn good course and I would be so sad to see it close or leave it - but I must keep my job somehow. I moved here to do it and can't imagine life here without being part of the university.

will I still have a job?
I had an email yesterday to say that Digital Film and Screen Arts will be grouped with Animation under one Course Leader who will be appointed on Monday 16th March and that we will all have meetings to discuss the new course structure. Today I found out my meeting will be the following day. It therefore seems likely that there must already be a decision about who will be doing what and it seems quite possible that some jobs will go. I have heard unofficially that I am 'at risk' but no one has officially notified me in those terms yet. We are left to 'read between the lines.' This is very upsetting and stressful for everyone and the UCA hierarchy do not seem to show much concern for the academic workforce by letting the speculation continue for more than a week after this announcement.
