The Israeli army put in a system of spatial control by reshaping the area they call the ‘north’ through acts of both destruction and construction. The destruction of buildings and fields lays the ground for the construction of new roads that act as wedges to force people out.

Our bargaining team heads to the negotiation table today with a strong mandate to protect academic freedom, demand fair and equitable compensation and sustainable workloads.
Good working conditions for faculty mean good educational experiences for students.
#StrongerTogether

Let me be very clear: @KUCFA do NOT want to strike.
But faculty working conditions are student learning conditions. Those conditions matter.
We are seeking protections for academic freedom and to strengthen our programs so we can do the job that students expect.
Just weeks before classes resume, King’s University College faculty have voted overwhelmingly in favour of striking if necessary after testy negotiations that began in April. @HeatheratLFP has more: tinyurl.com/v7sbtd #ldnont

Faculty @kucfa DO NOT want to strike, but administration has put us in the position to have to plan for one.
We want to negotiate. We will come to the table prepared.
Faculty working conditions are student learning conditions. We care deeply about our students.

King’s faculty @kucfa do not want to strike. We want to negotiate in good faith.
That said, negotiations have brought faculty to the point that we need to plan for strike action.
Let’s hope King’s comes to the table prepared.

96% of KUCFA members vote in favour of a strike mandate.
This greatly assists the Collective Bargaining Committee to advance the interests of KUCFA members at the negotiation table.

Collège de France is placing online all existing audio recordings of Foucault's annual lectures on "Society Must Be Defended," "Birth of Biopolitics," "Security, Territory, Population," "The Courage of Truth," etc. (seuil.com/auteur/michel-fouc…). Info here: college-de-france.fr/fr/actu…
Le 25 juin 1984 disparaissait le #philosophe Michel Foucault, titulaire de la chaire Histoire des systèmes de pensée.
À l'occasion de ce quarantième anniversaire, le Collège de France met à disposition du public les enregistrements de ses cours.

Whatever your thoughts on the g-word, the war crimes have been clear for all to see. This is a step towards accountability and an ICC that takes seriously all crimes, including those by western allies (whose responses should be watched closely). icc-cpi.int/news/statement-i…

KUCFA joins @CAUT_ACPPU in supporting students’ rights to peacefully assemble and protest. Universities have a responsibility to defend the right of faculty and students to critique their practices and contribute to social change through dialogue & action. kucfa.ca/?p=1169
