Reading a fellow historian’s experiences at the National Records of Scotland, and reminded a little of the problems I had there 30+ years ago (then Scottish Record Office). I ended up making a formal complaint in writing about one of the staff, who was constantly treating teenage me in extremely derogatory terms, including joking about me to others in the search room. He was demoted to non customer facing duties. Made my future visits so much better.

I've just read this Tumblr post, and think it's incredibly powerful. It's the summary of a panel at the recent Gallifrey One Doctor Who convention in the United States.

I actually think it's unhelpful that much of the current discussion of sexual harassment focuses on the entertainment industry. It's a far wider problem, and me and my friends who have spoken up face to face and on social media are symptomatic of that. But I still think this particular post is a good read, representing many actresses and behind the camera people in Doctor Who, many of whom will be familiar to fans old and new.
