UEA is trying to fire hundreds of my colleagues and insist that they "don't think that students and staff will notice... these are modest changes to our overall budget."

To realise you have been misled
For decades.
To realise you have not been taught.
To wake up slowly to denial
And what your denial means.
To not be to blame then
But to be to blame now
Because no one can say they did not know
It’s genocide

Yes, it's a genocide

👋 New to this app, hoping to find my online academic/practice community!

I work with youth & student activists to explore how they learn & share knowledge in/through activism – so education & literacy studies, youth studies, social movement studies!
