I build on work in the history of internationalism and int'l orgs, including @EmilSeidenfaden's recent book on the League's Information Section. Thanks to the journal, anonymous reviewers, & @MattFluck @DRMcCarthy1 who convened an EISA workshop where I first presented this. 5/5

Edinburgh students chanting "pay your workers" at their graduation in solidarity with @ucu staff engaged in industrial action.

Hey @Keir_Starmer! Is this week really the week that you want to side with the Vice Chancellors against staff who have had no other choice but to take very difficult industrial action?

Whenever VC and management talk about promoting "colleague wellbeing" or being a "compassionate university", I'll never ever again forget that this is what they supported in their silence, their inaction, and with their threats and deductions.

As of today, for the next three weeks, I am ‘locked out’ by my employer, on zero pay, for participating in @UCU’s Marking and Assessment Boycott. A short thread on why I am participating. 1/6

I wish it was stupidity. I actually think it is intentional malevolence, planning for humanities and the arts being reserved for the children of the affluent, while poor people's kids should go "earn their bread" via vocational/functional degrees or (better yet) apprenticeships.

"We have staff now at the University of Leeds, this world-class institution, using food banks" Our members at @leedsucu told ITV News why they've been forced to strike Leeds management refused to even give an interview #ucuRISING


👇Yep. I get why we worry about relevance, but am baffled by how often discussions completely ignore our teaching. This goes for all the agonising over the supposed abstractness of critical theory too.

Does teaching literally thousands of students International Relations count as being engaged beyond the ivory tower??

Solidarity with our striking teachers 🤝🏽 Ironic that this university 'promotes' equality, diversity and inclusion, yet our hardworking profs are constantly undervalued + threatened. Their working conditions matter just as much as our grades do. #educationoverprofit

Come on @peter_bonfield, our students are stressed, angry + anxious that all their hard work is being undermined by the ‘exceptional regulations’. Devaluing our degrees + threatening staff with 100% deductions is not our values. Let’s issue a joint statement and #SettletheDispute

Please do publicize & attend this online workshop (from 12pm, Thursday 22nd June, register: tinyurl.com/HumsUnderAttack), being organized by Brighton with others in response to latest rounds of cuts across sector. In this historical spirit, I demand we also #savemdxphilosophy!

Staff @QUBPsych protesting at being silenced, by being refused entry to the exam board that they co-constitute @ucuatqub Apparently differences of opinion constitutes ‘conflict of interest’ and will not be tolerated. Very disappointing, @QUBelfast
