Ruth Kinna, Ordinary Committee Member
“Hi everyone! I’m Ruth Kinna, a political theorist in the School of Social Sciences and Humanities. I joined UCU when I started working at Loughborough in 1992. I was Departmental Rep for a couple of years and enjoyed working with my fellow reps in the School. I have since participated in the UCU branch campaigns and workload committees. I’m keen to support the crucial work that the branch does to improve everyone’s work and conditions.”
Committee members and reps are central to how our branch supports its members. Committee members contribute to a wide range of branch activities, while reps play a key role in resolving local issues, building community, and ensuring members’ voices are heard across the University.
Whether representing a department or focusing on specific areas such as workload, reps and committee members strengthen our collective ability to make Loughborough a fairer and more supportive place to work. If you’re interested in getting more involved, or would like to find out more about what’s involved, please contact Callum Salfield for an informal chat.
