In light of Twitter’s new ownership, and the attendant controversies, we are suspending posting until we can determine whether this site remains consistent with our department’s intellectual values. #Diversity #Equality #Democracy #Truth

We were all out on strike so unable to retweet this on the day, but now happy to say: Solidarity!
I was supposed to deliver a talk at @UniofNottingham today for @AmCanNotts When #UCUstrikes days were announced I emailed the VC West to say I was canceling in solidarity with my Nottingham colleagues (Of course I now see there is an autocorrect typo 😞) #OneOfUsAllOfUs
