Job opportunity at the University of Sheffield (UK) for a Danish speaking researcher interested in the business of bordering, political economy and related topics
Sheffield staff who took strike action are being locked out again next week for refusing to replace teaching lost to the strike.
But in a strange twist, next week is still a teaching week for us.
So management’s brilliant actions have knocked out another week of teaching for no reason.
The Tories used to call themselves “ the party of law and order”.
Government policies don’t help of course, but VCs across the country continue to actively pursue the complete destruction of arts and humanities in UK universities. A catastrophic failure of individual and collective leadership.
So incredibly grim. Supporting and advising my students is by far the most important (and rewarding) part of my job. Why are universities so keen to AI themselves out of existence?

Back on strike with @sheffielducu.bsky.social. Why?
Management is pushing ahead with restructures despite sitting on £200m+ in reserves.
Along with colleagues in East Asian Studies, I also find out in 12 days how many of us they want to fire.
No justification is deemed necessary by management.
I, for one, was shocked to discover yesterday that a detailed vetting process had uncovered something that no-one had previously suspected:
Peter Mandelson, it turns out, is a wrong ‘un!
