An open letter on academic freedom, in solidarity with Randa Abdel-Fattah. overland.org.au/2025/02/open-l…

The Australian parliament Human Rights Comittee is recommending Australian universities all adopt the widely criticized IHRA definition of antisemitism. This undermines our right to academic freedom and needs to be fought. theguardian.com/australia-news…

By linking criticism of Israel/Zionism and antisemitism even more closely than the IHRA, the Universities Australia definition critically undermines universities' ability to do their work. An extremely dangerous and foolhardy capitulation by uni leaders to the pro-Israel lobby.

The intellectually dishonest definition of antisemitism adopted by Australian universities has basically loaded a gun and pointed it at Palestinian and Arab academics first and foremost. The only way we are permitted to exist as Palestinian and Arab in the academy is if we

1/ Good morning class. Today Australian universities adopted a policy that effectively outlaws criticism of Zionism. In today's class, and I do hope our Vice Chancellor's are listening and reading carefully, you will be introduced to Edward Said's 'Zionism from the Standpoint

What a disgusting and chilling attack on academic freedom by the Australian Research Council Dr Abdel-Fattah is completely undeserving of this appalling political interference As a Macquarie academic, I hope my university fights this tooth and nail

One day I will write about something that isn't utterly, totally depressing. But it is not this day. University management, where logic and learning go to die. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/education…

Minha esposa e eu colocamos sangue, suor e lágrimas nesta restauração. Muitas noites sem dormir, trabalhando por amor à obra. Espero que todos encontrem tanto significado nela quanto nós.

Silencing Palestine: Universities Australia and the new definition of antisemitism overland.org.au/2025/03/silenc… via @overlandjournal Some thoughts from me about the UA definition of antisemitism being imposed on universities across the Australian continent.

To celebrate #Incomplete's @scmstudies #SCMS25 award for Best Edited Collection, Stefan Solomon and I wrote about five projects we see as essential to the expanding horizons of the feminist incomplete! Up now on the University of California Press (is on Bluesky) blog: ucpress.edu/blog-posts/the…

The $3m ANU consulting contracts designed to ensure 'profit' began life just 17 days after new VC Geneveive Bell started. Was Council ever told the restructure plans were being designed in haste by a private firm? Council minutes don't suggest so. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/education…

Solidarity with Macquarie Uni colleagues amidst vicious cuts & redundancies. No words for the parasitic managers burnishing their careers & no doubt winning obscene bonuses off the decimation of entire disciplines and the abandonment of minds with so much more to offer than them.

“I and so many other staff at Macquarie had an absolutely sick feeling in our stomachs when these cuts were announced. My heart just sank.” –NTEU MQ Branch President Dr Nicholas Harrigan Read full media release: nteu.info/mr-mqcuts NTEU New South Wales

When global consulting firm Nous Group arrives at a university the company blueprint is always the same: weaken the academe, centralise power and cut staff, writes Rick Morton. satpa.pe/LEwVI5q

Nous Group has slowly taken over the university sector, filling VCs’ offices with exstaff and buying ‘incredibly sensitive’ data that is sold back for benchmarking. satpa.pe/zLfAyQf

Editorial: The Sharp Edge at Macquarie – A Statement of Solidarity The editors of Thesis Eleven would like to express their support for Faculty of Arts staff at Macquarie University affected by proposed job cuts. thesiseleven.com/2025/06/16/edi…

Macquarie university is proposing to cut the disciplines of sociology and politics. Sociology will no longer be offered as a major in the BA. We are facing mass redundancies - in my discipline the proposal is to sack 11 of 14 of us. (Including me) Politics will no longer be

Some of you may have heard that sociology and politics at Macquarie University are under threat, with the majority of academics in these disciplines facing redundancy. One of our retired academic colleagues, former department chair Michael Fine, has started a petition demanding
