🚨 The University of Nottingham is cutting 600+ jobs. This includes 1 in 3 #geography lecturers:

"I feel betrayed. I was told I would have certain modules and certain professors, and now I don't even know if the modules I've chosen for next year will run"

Picket lines are up at University of Nottingham this morning.

2,700 staff have been told they are at risk of redundancy. More than 600 jobs could go.

These cuts are a choice.

Show your support; reshare, comment or get down to the picket lines.

Action- the administration says they are making 100% salary reductions in response to our marking and assessment boycott and that all other work from participants during this time is "voluntary."

Response- We strike for two months straight.

City building in Addis Ababa, as elsewhere, is not only about economics. It is a moral project, grounded in the belief that new buildings and infrastructure will generate growth and uplift the poor.

In this new @FordhamPress book, I explore why that promise remains elusive

New book available for pre-order. It simultaneously spatialises autonomist Marxism and utilises the categories of operaismo for a renewed Marxist urban theory. Read for surveys of class/spatial composition, 'the tendency' and the social factory in the midst of urban revolt.⤵️

[Tom Cowan @termcern]

New publication - ‘Geographies of subsumption’ - I draw on heterodox writing on capitalist subsumption to critique and revise Marxist geographers approaches to dispossession, uneven development and racial capitalism.

Reach out for access.

@schneiderhome IIRC, the allegation that Samuel Corner had assaulted a security guard was widely used as justification for the proscription of Palestine Action. A jury, upon hearing the full story, has now refused to convict him of this. The argument for proscription lies in tatters.

[James Schneider @schneiderhome]

Hooray for jury trials and the good sense of ordinary people.

Down with Elbit.

Palestine will be free.
