my mom comes from poverty and has worked as a bank teller at Fifth Third Bank since 1981. she only makes around $22 an hour NOW after all this time, and they have been awful to her year after year. she now officially got robbed last week. they have done basically nothing to help her


๐ฃOut now! Iโm beyond excited to share that our book โThe Platformisation of Consumer Culture. A Digital Methods Guideโ has just been published with Amsterdam Univ Press ๐Available #openaccess here: library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.โฆ Alessandro Caliandro Alessandro Gandini Guido Anselmi

A university that spends over ยฃ1m on private consultants seeking advice on how to sack staff it says it can't afford really needs to look at itself. Meanwhile amazing to see students & academics standing with Goldsmiths UCU to fight for jobs. It's #notadonedeal Goldsmiths, University of London


I learned so much as an author & activist on the #CreativeWriting MA Goldsmiths English โ๏ธ10 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

Goldsmiths management is threatening to carry out the most severe cuts of any British university to date - 130 lecturers are facing redundandy. But we are resisting! Students have occupied Deptford Town Hall! #NotADoneDeal Goldsmiths, University of London Goldsmiths UCU


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


I had a great time teaching at Goldsmiths, University of London years ago, and now 133 staff members are at risk of losing their jobs. It is mind-boggling to think that a big part of this lively, vibrant institution could be dismantled by nasty management choices #NotADoneDeal Goldsmiths UCU

The academic vandalism must end! Goldsmiths, University of London Council has to stop SMT's disastrous plans to sack 130 staff. It will kill this brilliant uni as we know it. This is #NotADoneDeal. Goldsmiths UCU will fight to rescind the cuts & the whole trade union movement will be behind them.

Expressing all my support to the work that students and staff at Goldsmiths UCU have been doing to counter highly ideological and short-term measures. 133 jobs and the future of the arts and humanities education in the UK are stake. #NotADoneDeal Goldsmiths, University of London

My colleagues Goldsmiths, University of London are fighting hard to point out that staff cuts are not necessary. Goldsmiths has an incredibly influential place in UK and global scholarship (and I always dreamed of working there) - why not work to grow this? #NotaDoneDeal

We stand in full solidarity with Goldsmiths UCU, who are fighting to save 133 Goldsmiths, University of London faculty from brutal and ideological cuts. It's #NotADoneDeal, read how you can support the fight below โ

โจExcited to announce my first solo-authored paper is out now! I'm thrilled to be part of the new International Journal of Cultural Studies special issue 'Global Perspectives on Platforms & Cultural Production' with a piece on localised precarity. Check it out ๐journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/13โฆ




Yesterday was a big one: I successfully defended my dissertation and with that wrapped up my PhD at Cornell Dept of COMM. I am deeply grateful for this education, most especially to these four brilliant and generous scholars who have worked to make me better over the last 5 years. ๐


Remember that one time TeamYouTube told Charlie they were "not going to die on this hill" for Community Guideline strikes over the infamous spongebob roadrage video? CJ Reynolds and I published a paper on this + how creators make sense of and challenge YouTube policies
