Goldsmiths boasts the only MA Queer History in the world, yet has placed all @QueerHistGold & @HistoryGold staff at risk of redundancy. @GoldsmithsUoL says Black British History & “queer studies” (not history) are important but how can we thrive in an eviscerated History dept.?
Friends, if you know a prisoner/have a friend inside that who wants some books, but you can't afford to do the sponsoring, please send an email to [email protected]! We're always looking to send some books to folks inside.
After the mobilisation of the past few days, we now need to strategise and organise to #KillTheBill, which will give the police unprecendented powers to continue abusing.

Join us at 7pm TONIGHT. All genders welcome. BSL interpreted.

When thousands of us lay down in Parliament Square this evening, we did so in tribute to the many women who have been killed by police officers, in prison or in state custody.
Here are their names. #194andcounting
We are not numbers! These figures mean people losing jobs during the pandemic. They represent a reduction in resources available to students and increased workloads for remaining teaching and professional staff. @GoldsmithsUoL cannot bear any more cuts.
#savegoldsmiths (2/2)
We are fighting against further redundancies, but @GoldsmithsUoL management has already made substantial cuts since the start of the current term. To #SaveGoldsmiths and protect student provision, SMT needs to reverse staff cost control measures taken to date. Cuts so far (1/2)👇
We’re in familiar territory: threatened with a College-wide restructure, under the guise of a recovery plan, while managers refuse to announce the move to online teaching as Covid spreads through the community.
We’ve created infographics to share about mutual aid, the consequences of the COVID-19 bill & how we can support each other in times of crisis. A core component of organising online is political education / helping facilitate political consciousness for others.
If you're working from home &/or self-isolating, we wouldn't want you to go without essential reading.
So, we will be able to take payments by phone (02083559378) for books in stock, or order in, & we'll deliver them locally (on the shop bike, within 3 miles), no delivery charge.
I'm all for inspirational tweets at this time of need, but while the Bubonic Plague *may* have been a factor in the Renaissance it may also have been a cause of a far harsher form of serfdom in Eastern Europe, so I'm not sold on mass mortality as a tool of social advance.
