Come work with my amazing colleague!!

[Dawn Lyon @DawnLyon65]

Solidarity + @GoldsmithsUoL colleagues at devastating news of redundancies + destruction of @SociologyGold As former external examiner, I saw how critical, creative, lively ethos inspired students + hugely shaped my teaching and research. A terrible loss

A fond farewell to Professors Miri Song, Chris Shilling and Adam Burgess from @SSPSSR

[Rebecca Coleman @rcecoleman]

🎉 led by the fabulous @c_vanemmerik-latest article from our research on time, feeling & covid, where we develop a minor sociology to understand people’s intricate and ambivalent relations with uncertain and shifting futures @DawnLyon65 @MassObsArchive @SPAISBristol

[Flora Renz @FloraRenz]

My university is officially planning to switch our workload to 70% teaching and 20% research, which their own EDI impact assessment says is bad for minoritised staff. So that’s lovely news in the middle of marking! Why do we want to do all that pesky research anyway?

[CUCR @thecucr]

Huge congratulations to @ZoeWalshe who passed her PhD viva today for her thesis ‘Navigating Precarity: A Qualitative Study of Child and Family Accounts of Housing Precarity in Austerity London'. Pictured here with examiners Prof Ann Phoenix & Prof Dawn Lyon.

So me & my sister started a podcast - The Hopeful Reader! This introductory episode explores the potential of alternative world making through fiction, the importance (& constraint) of imagination, as well as thinking about reading as a method of ‘slow refusal’

I am so excited to see this book finally published! Available in May @CentreEpistemic @BrisUniPress @SSPSSR https://t.co/5JBU2DY5rP

[Flora Renz @FloraRenz]

My university is making staff redundant and the consultants senior management have hired couldn’t even manage to remove our letterhead before doing exactly the same thing at Goldsmiths. Really says it all about the competency of the people tasked with destroying universities.

[Flora Renz @FloraRenz]

My university is proposing that from now on research should only form 10% of our workload. So glad to know that senior management think doing research is some kind of optional extra for academics, bet that will really pay off in the next REF

[Centre for Journalism @CfJKent]

Calling all CfJ students past and present.
