King’s College London is undertaking what they call ‘strategicdisinvestment’ and have recently informed Professor David Ganz that funding for his Chair in Palaeography will cease from 31 August this year, when he will be out of a job. This is part of a wider context whereby all academic staff in the School of Arts and Humanities at King’s have to re-apply for their own jobs before the 1st of March. They think this the “most humane way” of losing 22 academic posts.This is the only established chair in Palaeography in the UK(previously held by Julian Brown and Tilly de la Mare).
