The economics of this are well-known: the University overheads grow, get distributed between departments, driving some of them into deficit outside their control. Deficit departments get cut, income they bring in disappears, but overheads on buildings and central admin stay. 2/4

University crisis latest, and very bad indeed: Cardiff are proposing to cut 7% of their academics, and to drop a whole array of programmes including ancient history, modern languages and music. Predictable and yet still shocking. 1/4

Capped off this grim day for myself & colleagues at Cardiff Uni with an interview on @BBCWalesToday representing @CardiffUCU.
These cuts are cruel & unnecessary - we will fight them.

A very grim day at Cardiff University.
400 jobs to go.
Whole departments (including modern languages, nursing, music, religion, ancient history) to be axed.

NEW: ‘A Cartography of Genocide’. Since October 2023, we have collected and analysed data related to Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. Our findings indicate that Israel has systematically targeted all aspects of civilian life. tinyurl.com/bdcrnzka

Muslim community in Butetown/Tiger Bay has been here for almost 200 years. One of the oldest multicultural communities in the UK. Woven into our history since mid 19th Century. Online bigots who know nothing about the history & communities of Cardiff/Wales should pick up a book.

Terry Au-Yeung and Robin Smith's #ForensicCA2024 presentation shows how a police PR statement after a racialised assault by police officers works to destabilise/dilute the moral accountability of the police officer actions as constructed by quote tweets of the viral video #EMCA

#EMCA Paper alert🚨 My article about police encounters involving less-than-competent subjects was published in The British Journal of #Criminology: doi.org/10.1093/bjc/azae031
It examines how officers improvise methods to manage troublesome responses to their queries and directives

‘To say an intellectual of her stature is not worthy of keeping her role at the college is to say that Black British literature is not and will not be taken seriously at Goldsmiths.’

They danced while we mourned alone.
They fast-track wealth to cronies while strangling the NHS.
They dehumanise the desperate, when the austerity they chose was to blame.
Even now, they gaslight us with terms like “supermajority” - stolen, like their propaganda, from America.

Sociology is an incredible subject that, when used in practice on the ground, has the power to dismantle many of the oppressive structures that wreak havoc in society. It's no surprise that senior managers have for a long time been trying to destroy it

The second audio walk runs from Lewisham Gateway to Creekside in Deptford. It focuses on rivers, development, migration, care and maintenance.

Education is alchemical, esp in places like Goldsmiths. At its best it has been able to throw some lifelines, love this story from @AcademicDiary of the teenage Steve McQueen’s Office Hour visits with Paul Gilroy. Les Back I know has changed many lives, inc mine
