Les années passent. Mais pas le souvenir de Matthieu Giroud. Lisez ses travaux, ses articles. Ils ont influencé durablement la géographie urbaine et contribué à développer la géographie critique en France ⤵️

I’ve had a light teaching term (following a punishing autumn term). Bristol University plans to deduct 50% - 100% of my pay for not marking a total of 6 essays. Bristol UCU UCU #ucuRISING

The result of collaborative work with Andrew Smith and Urban Parks Girl - bringing together our work on #park #funding, #governance and #volunteering to assess the legacies of a decade of #austerity.

La rubrique "Débat, Engagement et critiques" (@MatthieuAdam_ et Marion Ernwein) s’enrichit d’un entretien avec des actrices de la défense des JAD - Jardins à défendre d'Aubervilliers et @JardinsVaites pour analyser les luttes qui se déploient dans les jardins populaires en France. journals.openedition.org/metropoles/9961

Ce fut un plaisir et un honneur de rencontrer avec @MatthieuAdam_ 4 fantastiques jardinières, militantes et chercheuses (dont @Clairenoux et @Flaminiapad) pour discuter des modalités de lutte contre les grands projets urbains dans les jardins populaires journals.openedition.org/metropoles/9961

"Whose gardens? Our gardens! - Defending urban gardens against urban development" - new pub in interview form w @MatthieuAdam_ @Flaminiapad @Clairenoux + 3 other fantastic gardener-activists on strategies of collective action in urban gardens (in French) journals.openedition.org/metropoles/9961

Disgraceful inaction by Bristol City Council and Avon and Somerset Police. The article doesn't mention the road is crossed by many bringing their #children to nursery. For a road supposedly closed to traffic it feels incredibly unsafe for anyone not motorised.

"A rise from 18 up to 20 weeks paid maternity leave, and from two up to six weeks paid paternity leave" "20% child care cost subsidies for under three year olds" Now that's proper leadership. What are other unis like The Open University waiting for? Open University UCU

OUr Open University UCU members have come from West Wales and Bristol to UCU picket today. These members can't be here: Marion E, Richard Bradbury and Emma - whose job is so precarious she daren't strike! 💔✊ #ucuRISING
