School of East Asian Studies at Sheffield University. Unapologetic migrant. Researching post-disaster recovery, materiality and affect & a lot of nonsense.

This wonderful volume on #socialjustice after disasters if finally out. Here’s our contribution exploring disaster affected communities’ perceptions of social justice in #japan through the much contested topic of post-disaster tourism.

@miikeprentice this sounds like a solid idea for module feedback!

At least his disciplinary preferences are on spot. #NextGenerationAnthropologist

@TimiIhaza @mk098a If 2 people willingly sleep together that results in pregnancy, the odds are they also discuss the issue of abortion together and are able to jointly decide. The issue here is that this subjects women whose pregnancies started from more complex circumstances to male approval.

[UCU @ucu]

REF is emblematic of a research culture obsessed with designating universities & departments as "winners" or "losers".

Instead of vice chancellors fawning over today's #REF2021 results & hijacking the work of their staff, they should address the crisis in our universities.

Thank Dorothea, wonderful to run into you!

[Dorothea Kleine @dorotheakleine]

Guess who is graduating today? Massive congrats to my colleague and former SIID RA @aevainio- now Dr Vainio! Excited to see your next steps! @IGSD_Shef

[Keele UCU @KeeleUCU]

It would have cost @KeeleUniversity £2.3m. This week the VC briefed staff that he "needs" to invest £235m in buildings between now and 2033 🙃

[Japan Anthropology Workshop (JAWS) @JawsJapanAnthro]

Over the last year, we have been publishing contributions from members working in the context of 3/11 and its aftermath. On the 11th Anniversary, we brought this online series to conclusion by @aevainio https://t.co/2aT0DlL55b

[AEvainio @aevainio]

It’s the 11th anniversary of #311 and we have wrapped up our year long series of ethnographies on the disaster. I’d like to thank all the contributors and share my own final reflection here as we remember the events and those that perished in the tragedy

#USSStrike #FourFights @ucu

Important new article by @BrackleyJ looking at the finances of @USSpensions participating UK #universities.

Finds that 59 institutions made £3.6bn surplus during 2020/21 at the same time as they cut 2,600 jobs.

[Josephine Cumbo @JosephineCumbo]

BREAKING: The Universities Superannuation Scheme Joint Negotiating Committee has today formally voted to implement cuts to future #pension benefits for tens of thousands of UK university sector staff.

[Simon Rushton @SimonRushton8]

This certainly seems to be the situation at Sheffield: fewer staff, bigger surplus. The pension cuts @UniversitiesUK want to force through are to protect those surpluses, not to protect the ‘student experience’.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

This BBC graph shows the incredibly low investment in the NHS by the Government from 2010 to the pandemic

It’s a major reason why we had 100,000 staff shortages in early 2020

And why there were millions on waiting lists even then

We wish everyone knew this context

[Eleanor @eleanor_jane_98]

This is my 4th year of uni where strikes have coincided with my studies, however I always will fully support the staff. They’re underpaid, overworked and still provide brilliant education for us. They always go above and beyond and continue to whilst on strike #OneOfUsAllOfUs

[KCL UCU @KCL_UCU]

BREAKING! We reached an agreement with @KingsCollegeLon on the statement below on #USS. Key points:
- no need for contribution rises
- we can and should protect existing benefits
- governance reform
- divest fossil fuels

Final paper of the year to our @JawsJapanAnthro Online series on Tohoku now available on the website, perfect pre-Christmas reading for you all! https://t.co/WxQFYnXb5x

[Dr Rhian Elinor Keyse (she/her) @drrhianelinor]

Seeing a lot about #WhyImStriking over the last 3 days, including stories of precarity. Time to share mine.

A month ago I spoke to The Guardian. I spoke anonymously because of stigma and shame of both gender violence and precarity.

I am "Siân Jones" #OneOfUsAllOfUs #UCUstrike

[UCU @ucu]

🚨UCU members at universities across the UK begin three days of strike action today in defence of pay and pensions and to fight against pay gaps and job insecurity.

Tweet your support and visit your nearest picket line if you can ✊
