Anyway, you 154 beautiful souls who believe in Professor Rees, who believe in research & discussion & activism, who believe in Gender Studies, thank you so much. You're amazing. Stay tuned for a response from the VC! #NoRedundanciesChester #SaveTheIGS
We stand with all staff at the University of Chester currently facing redundancy in whatever action is taken to secure the future of their jobs, our research, and the continuation of our threatened departments. #NoRedundanciesChester #SaveTheIGS
BREAKING: Chester UCU will be balloting for industrial strike action.
We will be balloting departments in waves. The first wave involves 4 key departments at risk of job losses.
The university could put a stop to this NOW by withdrawing compulsory redundancies.
From Ulster to Glasgow, Stockholm, Vienna, Germany, Canada and even Australia, 123 gorgeous, talented & fascinating people have signed our letter in support of #GenderStudies here at Chester. Can we make it 125? #NoRedundanciesChester #SaveTheIGS https://t.co/XNcpCKBDgo
The silence on one side is deafening - but we won't stop shouting #SaveTheIGS #NoRedundanciesChester
We don't want to lose Prof. Rees as a supervisor & teacher. We don't want to lose our Gender Studies dept. We don't want to have to put the lid back on those voices she has helped amplify. Please sign, please show your support, please share. #SaveTheIGS https://t.co/XNcpCKBDgo
1/3 As we push towards the final few days of collecting signatures for our open letter opposing redundancies in the Gender Studies dept., I wanted to highlight the work of the amazing woman we are fighting for, Professor Rees. #SaveTheIGS
Thank you so much for your support today. Every message, every name on our letter means everything. If you're interested in what the IGS is all about, 3 of our amazing MRes students are showcasing their research tonight at 6pm. #GenderStudies #SaveTheIGS
If you know any IGS students, past or present, who you think might like to sign but are not on Twitter, please DM me. Every signature counts! #NoRedundanciesChester #SaveTheIGS
If you are a student at the IGS (any level) please consider signing our open letter opposing redundancies in our department.

We have had some people ask if they can sign the open letter as alumni of the IGS... well, it would be rude to say no! It's so lovely to see the support for @EMMAREES from students past & present. Please keep sharing and signing #NoRedundanciesChester #SaveTheIGS

Gender Studies is a specialism. We have one FT member of staff who (inexplicably) is at risk of redundancy. This jeopardises the entire department. #SaveTheIGS #NoRedundanciesChester
If staff with particular specialisms are made redundant, at any institution, some modules won't run. This is a simple fact. And no, it's not okay.
Shocking that redundancies are still happening at a time when the government is really pushing for these kind of subject areas to be removed from the curriculum. Seems they are winning. Support @EMMAREES @Talking_Bodies #SaveTheIGS #NoRedundanciesChester #savecriticalthinking
We need to fight to keep gender studies departments open - please help support @EMMAREES and @Talking_Bodies in any way you can!
Solidarity begins at home?! The IGS is committed to amplifying LGBT+ voices. Why is our department under threat? #SaveTheIGS
@uochester @UocLgbt Will the university commit to supporting its Institute of Gender Studies, which is currently under threat due to proposed redundancies? LGBT+ voices matter right here in Chester! #SaveTheIGS #NoRedundanciesChester
Please keep following & RTing to support the work of the @IGSChester and share your opposition to redundancies at #UniversityOfChester #NoRedundanciesChester #SaveTheIGS
The decision to place @EMMAREES at risk of redundancy, knowing how much she brings to @uochester as a professor, an activist, a mentor & a friend is callous & shortsighted. We oppose this loudly. #SaveTheIGS #NoRedundanciesChester
But this is just the production labour - Emma has been working overtime on the unpaid emotional labour during lockdown, supporting her students, listening to us vent. Pretty sure I've cried down the phone to her on more than one occasion. #SaveTheIGS
Some background info on IGS. The dept. was officially founded in 2016. In that short space of time, our 1 F/T staff, @EMMAREES has built & established an incredible 4-day conference @Talking_Bodies that attracts speakers from all over the world #SaveTheIGS #NoRedundanciesChester
If you have ever read a book, paper or column by Prof. Emma Rees, been to #TalkingBodies or our seminars or even had any thoughts about feminism/gender,/women's rights, however vague or fleeting 😄 please join us in opposing redundancies at #UniversityOfChester #SaveTheIGS
