Notice served. 18.5 years' loyal service, five books with leading publishers, 6th and 7th on the way, an international prize, two massive grants, loads of "impact" work, glowing teaching reports. Need another job. Surely someone would value all this. Please spread the word.

In coming days the fate of many people at @oxford_brookes is being decided. We want to reiterate how unjustified compulsory redundancies would be & how devastating this would be to what our university needs. Please listen to us and to proposals by those affected! #stoptheSHAMcuts

More footage emerges from Gaza amid the temporary truce showcasing how Israel has been methodically wiping out as much of the besieged enclave as possible.
There's a reason the Biden admin were worried people would demand a ceasefire when they get to see these clips! Quick🧵...

We need to open a big debate about the future of post-1992 Unis. Several of us are threatened with redundancies and closures in arts humanities & social sciences with questionable financial arguments. @aberdeen_ucu @BrightonUCU @StaffsUCU and to come. Stop destroying our future

‘All ICU patients’ dead in al-Shifa amid Israel raid, according to the Hospital's director. No further comment needed. Just a question to Europe's leaders: Are you sleeping OK at night? aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/…

The impact of the current conflict on education is hard to overstate. Dozens of staff and students, including 84 from Ben-Gurion Uni of the Negev, were killed in the Hamas attack on 7 October and 439 Palestinian staff and students have been killed by the Israeli response 1/6

Israeli soldiers post themselves "conquering" a hospital in Gaza where 43 intensive care patients just died because of a lack of oxygen, according to ABC News.
As a Jew and human rights attorney, I find this photo repulsive. Get out.
