Marketisation & what happens when “notions of an academic community, or a scholarly career, have been replaced by economic analyses that look to reduce unit costs per output” https://t.co/khnjqYhe1a

REPEAT: we are not all in this together & not all affected equally.
“Women academics seem to be submitting fewer papers during coronavirus. ‘Never seen anything like it,’ says one editor.
Men are submitting up to 50 percent more than they usually would” https://t.co/Y2b66cBzhH

Yesterday late-afternoon, a famous YouTuber came to Birmingham. So many people drove to the city to see him that traffic almost completely ground to a halt. You can read about it here. In what I think is excellent BBC local coverage, of global interest. https://t.co/QNwRBAEp1N

Our piece in @po_qu on what the charges brought against the #Stansted15 mean for 'Hoffmann's bargain', and the consequences for non-violent protest in the UK @Cammboo @BrianJADoherty

[Movements@Manchester @movementsMcr]

Podcast! @kevgillan interviews @GraemeHayes about #Stansted15 and what this trial means for future of direct action protest in Britain. @EDeportations https://t.co/MIxnQI6oQf @MCRSociology

[CCISC @CCISC_AstonUniv]

The chilling potential of this verdict make it perhaps the most important political trial of our times: @cammboo @BrianJADoherty and CCISC'S @GraemeHayes on the #Stansted15

[Graeme Hayes @GraemeHayes]

The use of anti-terror laws to convict the #Stansted15 will chill public dissent. We observed all nine weeks of the trial: this is our take @NewStatesman @BrianJADoherty https://t.co/kWzgxThNN1
