This is particularly pertinent today as I receive news from my friends and colleagues about the brutal and unnecessary cuts which will mean the end of ⁦Sociology, Goldsmiths⁩ as we know it - How the Tories pushed universities to the brink of disaster theguardian.com/politics/ng-in…

The scale and depth of the disaster unfolding at Goldsmiths, University of London is confounding. This is intellectual vandalism. Complete, utter madness. My heart is with friends and colleagues at Sociology, Goldsmiths. The hardship fund is here: goldsmithsucu.org/support-fund/

Kudos to Durham Sociology and UCL Sociology Network for leading on institutional messages of support to our colleagues at Goldsmiths. This is a matter of utmost gravity + the value of institutional solidarity can't be underestimated. Sociology @ Essex Criminology @ Essex @MigEssex Economic Sociology @ Essex

The Department of Sociology & Criminology Sociology @ Essex University of Essex has two Professors standing in the general election. Professor Pam Cox for The Labour Party and Professor Andrew Canessa for The Green Party This is a testament to public sociology at its best. Good luck!

We are saddened to learn of major redundancies at the Dept of Sociology at Goldsmiths as well as other universities. We join with The BSA and other Sociology Depts across the nation in expressing and sending support and solidarity to our colleagues.

Incredibly brave and brilliant performance by Faiza to stand up to the bullying Labour Party machine. Their authoritarian actions gifted the seat to the conservatives. Hopefully The Labour Party HQ will be thinking about how to learn the right lessons from this.

Amazing news and huge congratulations to Professor Pam Cox! Economic Sociology @ Essex @MigEssex Global South Studies at Essex Criminology @ Essex CISC Essex Social Science

So many replies to this. “Enjoy and support each other” seems to me to be the best. In a phD workshop our mentor said “put something out in the world that you would stand by” and since then academic writing was never the same to me.

Shaza before anything else, can you please explain why, as IT Minister, you're using an app your govt banned for the rest of us while using a VPN that your govt also banned for the rest of us? Do you not feel even an iota of shame for the digital apartheid imposed in Pakistan in

which journalists + news networks are people relying on for unbiased on-ground news right now? trying to compile a list for people + the diaspora abroad seeking out updates from pakistan.

Security forces are firing directly at peaceful protesters using snipers, with many reports of fatalities among the demonstrators. The situation is rapidly deteriorating, and the people of Pakistan are facing extreme state repression. This Must Stop! #UndeclaredMartialLaw

Shockingly violent tactics to suppress protesters in Islamabad. The civilian government goes on to alienate the public, and for whom? Poor political choices…

I’ve written to Goldsmiths to say I do not wish to be an Emeritus Professor of an institution that does not respect the universality of human rights or the importance of good ethical & scholarly practice.

#Parachinar is burning and no-one is even talking about it. Everyone, it seems just cares about their own cause. Is it a general lack of empathy or is it just Shia-phobia not letting you speak out on the burning situation of Parachinar and its people.
