Regretfully turned down the invitation to join this panel as I will be taking part in @UCU KCL UCU still demands pay restoration #UCUstrikes due to pensions, pay & working condition erosion, & gender and race inequality in UK HE Ros Atkins Francine Lacqua Joseph C. Sternberg UCL-UCU Stop the Destruction of Higher Education #Solidarity

Just making a note of women profs who have signed this because they are clearly good people I’d like to buy a drink (and for those I know already, hit me up any time) #UCUstrike

Anyone voting for the tories in this election, your ‘local’ voting might shape a new world of ruin, please reconsider thx

Any ratings out there on the mental health impact of #REF2022 on staff in a sector already on its knees? The mysterious missing metric

UK fears it will be locked out of €100 billion EU research programme nature.com/articles/d4158… well this is completely appalling - Brexit the gift that keeps on taking

revisited this with fantastic colleagues this week @slowmemo meeting in Portland. 80 years of solidarity between mining communities #Lidice 🌈

This is so amazing

Racial capitalism has always tried to explain how a system can 'organise & *celebrate*.. brutal degradations of life & acute violations of human destiny' (Robinson) beyond the accumulation motive as full explanation

since few people I know follow me I’m just using this forum to say life is generally intolerable, thanks

The CFP for the 2023 Mnemonics Summer School on "The Industry of Memory" (London, UK, 27-29 June 2023) is now open: mnemonics.ugent.be/news/call-for-…. Featuring keynote lectures by Brett Ashley Kaplan (UIUC), John Lennon (GCU), and Jenny Wüstenberg (NTU).

In a world full of problems I wonder which ones meant I spent many hours writing a lecture that 5 of 25 students showed up for. Universities are broken

Tomorrow 70,000 university workers are on strike. Insecure employment is rife and it’s a sector with £45 billion of reserves. University bosses are choosing push their workers into poverty. RT if you support the strike.

Disgusting and illegal. Solidarity with staff at Hull

Solidarity to UCU members who may be scrambling to prep teaching for next week following the abrupt pause to the #ucuRISING strikes. Don’t do it - have your weekend, explain to students, have a discussion instead of a lecture x

Ready to go to the post with yes votes… getting 🐾 of approval UCU KCL UCU is balloting! #ucurising
