I wrote something on my time on returning to Goldsmiths as an associate lecturer, 17 years after graduating with my first degree. It’s a plea to Frances Corner’s successor to learn from mistakes made over the last 6 years and change course. #UCU #UKHE

Happy International Lesbian Day to all who celebrate!!

[Except the ones who got the UK Supreme Court to define 'lesbian' *for* us; they get nothing from me. A "chilling effect on lesbians", indeed...]

I've got a student who would love to do some #PhD research on #TouretteSyndrome and the dismantling of the invisible/visible disability binary. Is there anyone in my network in the UK who is accepting #SocialScience PhD students / sponsoring them for #ESRC funding?
