Back on Twitter/X to fulfil a request, I discover I now need to prove I'm a human. What kind of bot does nothing at all? I'm tempted not to bother - partly not to feed the machine and partly because it feels very human for my humanity to be questionable

Serious Freaky Friday energy coming back here to get started on my visiting fellowship with @GCSSYDNEY1 at @Sydney_Uni. We had an awesome time talking all things boyhood & I loved hearing so many new perspectives on masculinities @cadriscoll @gracesharko @shawnatang @LiamDGrealy

Starting in August, a unit designed and taught by the Feminist Boys Studies Research Group. "Girls and Boys: Gendered forms of youth" will explore different ways to think about gender and young people. Open to Masters and Honours students at @ArtSS_Sydney. boysresearch.org/blog/come-s…

We don’t need to fix the problem. We need a 30-page document showing we discussed the problem with all the relevant stakeholders and, as a result, have a strategy ready to implement over the next 3-5 years to address the problem.
Still so thrilled about Dr Carina Garland’s electoral success @GCSSYDNEY1 #GCSrules
Big congratulations to Dr Carina Garland 🎉🎉🎉🎉 A graduate of gender & cultural studies. womensagenda.com.au/female-c…

I would love to see follow-up reporting that investigated the following questions... (thread)
I’m very happy at having a chance to work with @zacseidler in second semester this year. The whole Affirmative Feminist Boys Studies team were excited about the news when we met this morning! Thanks to @SSSHARC for their funding support.
Excited to have gotten the news I'll be heading back to my alma mater at @ArtSS_Sydney as I'll be receiving the James Fellowship in Social Sciences this year to work alongside @GCSSYDNEY1 @cadriscoll to help blend my knowledge of masculinities with theirs for impactful research.
Just a fantastic talk by @TessSLea!
WATCH Prof @TessSLea 's brilliant talk for the recent @GCSSYDNEY1 Paul Priday Lecture 2022
(discussant Dr Josie Barnett). It's on infrastructure and policy failures in remote Australia - essential viewing for all of us in the thick of climate emergency vimeo.com/685340788

No, we aren’t eliminating your department. We are combining it with another department so you’ll have more colleagues to interact with! Also, we are giving you an opportunity to teach across disciplines! You are welcome!

Thanks to the thousands of people who viewed & shared our video on the attacks on the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Sydney. There's now a petition to sign, as well as a link for sending messages to the administrators in charge. Please RT! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
Here's a link to a Google.docs petition against abolishing Departments in the Faculty (FASS) where I work (at Uni of Sydney). Academic colleagues, and present and past students, please read and consider signing and forward as appropriate:

Word of the day, on repeat, is ‘latibulate’ (17th century): to hide in a corner until the situation improves.

Managers at @Sydney_Uni want to abolish the departments of the uni's Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences. This is major vandalism. Staff are overwhelmingly opposed yet are being ignored. Share our video and tell managers @mscott @arjagose & @adkinsprof to respect staff and the uni.
