@Planact_NGO It was so stimulating to meet and learn from Shumani and Petunia in Sao Paulo this week! They articulated the challenges facing South African cities so clearly, and shared inspiring approaches & solutions.

See our concerns about @sheffielduni @USPSheffield students' assessment following the @ucu @sheffielducu marking boycott. Remember our working conditions are students' learning conditions. A lockout is not the way forward, negotiation is.

[Paula Meth @pjmeth1]

Thanks @InvisibleMapper for your support, politically & financially, @sheffielduni 's 100% pay deduction position is an odd way to build staff morale & enhance the university's reputation @sheffielducu

[Jon Silver @InvisibleMapper]

Y/day comrades at @sheffielduni were 'locked out' of work due to the Marking + Assessment Boycott as management are docking 3 weeks salary for 'partial performance'

I'll be donating to the @sheffielducu local strike fund + very angry w/ university actions.

Solidarity

[Paula Meth @pjmeth1]

Day 2 of 3 wks of zero pay for participating in @ucu's marking boycott @USPSheffield. @sheffielduni's a serious outlier with a distressing collapse in usually better industrial relations. Read @SimonRushton8's thread below. @UCEA1 pls restart talks with @ucu asap @sheffielducu

[Simon Rushton @SimonRushton8]

As of today, for the next three weeks, I am ‘locked out’ by my employer, on zero pay, for participating in @UCU’s Marking and Assessment Boycott.
A short thread on why I am participating. 1/6

Great to read @MahadWasuge's blog on his @AfricanCities_ trip to Dar last week - the highlight for me was meeting so many interesting & smart people - & all the swimming :) @USPSheffield

[Mahad Wasuge @MahadWasuge]

In this blogpost, I reflect my observations & experiences during the trip.

This is what Glyn got up to in India, I keep trying to point out that he wasn't here cooking for us for a WHOLE month .... 😁 - but I am so pleased it was such a good trip.

[Paula Meth @pjmeth1]

Do you want to know how Whatsapp can help you assess project impact? Today @IGSD_Shef has reposted a fascinating blog written by @EmmaHeywood7 sharing her insights: https://t.co/ZAzalfFFsb

@GlynWil72547199 & I really enjoyed meeting staff & students @LivUni Geography & Planning Dept. on Friday to talk about our research & discover interconnections between our projects. Our introduction to Liverpool's pub scene was good too.... @USPSheffield

[Paula Meth @pjmeth1]

Glad you are back home to cook for us! @USPSheffield
