.@RoyalHistSoc is deeply concerned by the scale and speed of further #History redundancies @GoldsmithsUoL. These cuts will remove student choice, wreak havoc on careers, and end specialist teaching and research.
Our statement: bit.ly/3zO2nAF#twitterstorians 1/5 🧵⬇️
ALT Extract of Royal Historical Society statement on proposed cuts and closures at Goldsmiths, University of London:
"The Royal Historical Society is deeply concerned by the scale and potential impact of further redundancies in the History department at Goldsmiths, University of London.
These latest cuts will reduce the department’s teaching and research capacity from eleven to six members of staff. This follows a previous, extensive round of redundancies imposed in 2022. If the current proposals go ahead, Goldsmiths—a member of the University of London—will suffer a 75% reduction in History staff between 2021 and 2024.
Cuts of this kind significantly reduce the options available to existing and potential students, many of whom are reliant on their local university to study the subject of choice. They also wreak havoc on the careers and personal lives of academic historians."
Great opportunity for someone to join the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation , in Los Angeles, as an Assistant Curator. Any @HistoryofDesign graduates interested?
