There is growing emphasis on considering children’s rights in planning decisions, but adults’ claims to these rights can be problematic, particularly in contested cases. Check Powell, @dr_muddiman, Power & @profchristaylor's new paper to learn more

My thoughts are with Goldsmiths colleagues this weekend who are waiting to find out who will receive redundancy notices on Monday. Please share - on why this matters to anyone who believes in the transformative power of education.
STUDENTS ARE ANGRY (headline from 1984 edition of @gairrhydd )
Delighted to be working with @CUSpecialColls , @DrMendez_to_you and our summer intern Liv on a research project exploring archives of our student newspaper in relation to activism and protest @CUSocSci@CUSocSciRsch
As the ICJ orders Israel to immediately halt its military offensive in Rafah, & as police break up student protests in Amsterdam, Berlin, Oxford & beyond, Race & Class foregrounds the European-wide assault on freedom of expression in relation to Palestine

Hind's mum's words are profoundly moving. We will never forget Hind, but she should still be alive. Never forget that a little girl was murdered by a genocidal entity, alone and in panic for hours.
The response to student protests at universities like mine @USC and throughout America has been unacceptable
Not to mention counterproductive, even on its own terms

Thank you to all the students and faculty standing up for our values

🚨Stop Scrolling!
Let's pause & reflect a minute about what this shocking picture of @GretaThunberg 's arrest tells us about the current state of #climate politics.
A short 🧵on some key lessons we can take from this image
Now over 30 Uni's looking at closures and implementing redundancy schemes, 10 added to this list in the past 24 hours alone. ⬇️Where is @ucu's national stance? Where is @UKLabour? Why is nobody talking about the fact that UK HE is literally crumbling around us? Wake up!
Over half of Black children, and 47% of Asian children are living in poverty.
Utterly shocking in 2024 Britain, and inexcusable. This is a political choice.
I'm really pleased that @Nature have covered our new campaign.
This is a no-brainer - please look at our briefing note and send it to relevant people in your institution (such as Head of HR, University Secretary, and chair of the sexual violence committee, if you have one)
This is Wildflower Kitchen in Cardiff. You might have been there, you might not.
But it’s just closed and you should probably be concerned - this is symptomatic of a much bigger issue in Wales and across the UK.
