The republication of four great novels by early twentieth century writer and social activist, Ethel Carnie Holdsworth: research.reading.ac.uk/centr…

Caliban Shrieks. This brilliant book has been the focus of my life for 2 years. One of the best English works of the last century - forced from print, for 7 decades, by snobbery.
It's back! @vintageclassics and I have a new edition out, March 7th 🧨

The long awaited (by no one) sequel to my student-facing strike explainer - the student-facing MAB explainer! #UCURising drive.google.com/file/d/1gpc…

If you work in a UK university but are not yet a member of the @ucu, please take a few minutes today to consider joining us
Unions (and strikes) are the only reason our working conditions have not deteriorated further and will only improve if we are united

This strike isn't just about the pay of staff on permanent contracts, it's about the casualisation and precarity of academic jobs. Before getting my job at UEA in 2013 I worked for years as an hourly paid lecturer. I worked at Royal Holloway, Birkbeck, QMUL, & Uni of Surrey.

Solidarity to all those on strike today 💪
ALT Black and white illustration by Walter Crane titled 'Labour's May Day' and ‘Dedicated to all the workers of the world’. A banner saying “Solidarity of Labour' spans a globe, which is circled by six workers who have downed tools. Above them is a woman as the symbol of freedom; around the edge a banner with the words fraternity and equality and the names of the continents.

Good morning and welcome to the first day of strike action in the second wave of #UCURising.
Reminder: none of our members want to be on strike. We want to be in classrooms and offices, teaching and researching and supporting that work. Negotiation is still possible.

“Can women really have it all?” or alternatively, “does the relentless unpaid & unseen volume of reproductive labour compete endlessly with paid labour & take a specific toll on women as well as acting to reproduce capitalism?” – at Dudley, England

if you’re a FT permanent academic & you’re not on strike, PLEASE rethink. think of the casual staff using food banks. the fixed termers who can’t put the heating on. the future gens who can’t have academia as a future because of crap conditions. it’s for us & them #ucuRISING

I am a teaching assistant and I get paid £75 a week on a freelance basis, including all prep (which will often include reading a whole novel so works out as less than minimum wage), to teach a compulsory undergraduate module at an institution with a £3,000,000 endowment
