#NotADoneDeal!! Arts and humanities are worth saving, can be saved, and WILL be saved!

I learned so much as an author & activist on the #CreativeWriting MA Goldsmiths English ✍️10 yrs & 2 published novels later, I teach on that same MA course. Horrified that Goldsmiths, University of London now aims to axe 133 jobs. The arts & humanities will suffer. This must be stopped #NotaDoneDeal

There is NO convincing financial justification for proposed redundancies Goldsmiths, University of London In fact new HESA data shows it's doing well given the sector hesa.ac.uk/data-and-analy… Time to stop giving millions to private consultancies & reverse the cuts! #NotADoneDeal Goldsmiths UCU

As someone new to Goldsmiths, University of London, it has been truly bewildering and infuriating to witness management’s treatment of staff. Irreparable damage is being done to a great institution. But there is an alternative and time to reconsider. #notadonedeal Goldsmiths UCU

As a shining beacon of creative, critical, radical scholarship, it's no coincidence that Goldsmiths, University of London is the target of these deeply ideological cuts, a sign of what's to come for arts & humanities in the UK. But it's #NotADoneDeal and we are prepared to fight 😤 Goldsmiths UCU

I’m having a *delightful* day. And I have Console-ing Passions 2024’s great panels, a new book — and, oddly, Air Canada’s cancellation (and 💩 customer service) to thank: I have an unexpected final day to wander, ponder, and read. Excited to read your work sarah banet-weiser Kat Higgins (aka Kathryn Claire) !

As far-Right vigilantes flood our streets and our government calls for a "standing army" of "supercops" to deal with them, a reminder to watch out for the logic of cruel benevolence. We cannot fight racism with a racist criminal legal system 👇 research.gold.ac.uk/id/eprint/3482…

Yes, that's why... Real determination to see this as a win for policing rather than thousands of anti-racist protesters

“Two-tier” policing is not a myth. Like all the best conspiracy theories, it’s an upside-down truth. Lilie Chouliaraki and I write about policing myths and the tactical victimhood of the far-Right for LSE British Politics and Policy 👇

“Two-tier Kier” is reverse victimisation, a classic far-right strategy of communication, Kat Higgins (aka Kathryn Claire) and I argue in this @LSEBPP blog post on the recent U.K. riots 👇

On LSE British Politics and Policy, Lilie Chouliaraki (LSE Media & Communications) and Kat Higgins (aka Kathryn Claire) (Media, Communications and Cultural Studies) analyse the myths and truths about “two-tier policing” – the term used by #FarRight activists and #ElonMusk about the UK #riots. blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandpol…

👮‍♂️Do #police really practice "two-tier policing", or is this a misconception?

It was a pleasure to write this review of Lilie Chouliaraki’s brilliant new book Wronged: The Weaponization of Victimhood for European Journal of Cultural Studies (EJCS). Wronged is an essential text for this crazymaking moment in public moral politics, and I can’t recommend it highly enough 👇
