Universities are not a neutral space and they cause harm to all working class people in them - academics, support staff, students, or estates workers. No one comes out unharmed for a University

Very sad to hear Professor Jack Metzgar has passed. He was a committed & passionate working class man that found himself like some of us have in the University system. He was committed to research on the class struggle .@wcstudies

'In June 1928, Orwell — then still known as Eric Arthur Blair — moved from London to Paris, with the aim of learning French, living cheaply, and writing novels. That didn’t quite work out: although he had some success writing shorter-length journalism...'

Last year I went to a conference at Manchester Met about this..hosted by Phil Redmond it was depressing actually. At the end he said 'shall we do this again next year'

Carsic Estate, Sutton-in-Ashfield. Nottinghamshire. 1984. Three girls are turning sixteen.
They're dreaming of new clothes from the market, their first full wage packet, and nights out.

They have no idea their world is about to change.

Written by Dr Lisa McKenzie and Jayne Williams, This is a coming-of-age story set in 1984 but it speaks powerfully to Britain today.
