"JSO are our students, colleagues, peers. What is driving their disruptive behaviour is the unbearable and widening dissonance between what an honest assessment of the climate and nature crisis reveals and the embarrassed silence of our HE institutions." shorturl.at/vDFGN

The fossil fuel industry should have no place on university campuses. It certainly shouldn't be represented at their careers fairs. So imagine my "surprise" when, the DAY BEFORE Queen's University Belfast 🎓 launches its new net zero plan, I see The Oil Market Journal recruiting Queen's students.

As scientists, we are increasingly being asked to tell the public the truth about the crises we face in simple and direct terms. The truth is that we are shocked by the ferocity of the extreme weather events in 2023. We are afraid of the uncharted territory that we have now

Yup, the democratisation of the academic workplace is a precondition for many of the other necessary transformations needed for it to be 'fit for future purpose', such as decolonisation, decarbonisation, decommodification and demilitarisation Faculty for a Future Calum McGeown
