I don’t think I’ve witnessed the almost complete breakdown of universities in such a rapid way before. I’m seeing daily posts about redundancies, merging of departments and a drastic fall in student numbers. It’s as if all the shouting that’s been done over the last decade hasn’t worked.
My latest article for Area looks at questions around friendship, solidarity and calls for a radical geography. I consider how the university space is paradoxical: it offers us hope as seen through the recent encampments but is also a space where securitisation forces are strong.
I just saw this and wanted to say it’s fantastic! So much to think about geographically and personally too.
