Exciting times at my university. Apparently I (along with many others) will have to have to prove I am working at the level of my role. Actually, I don't think I can be arsed.

For The Guardian, @[email protected] writes about our connected struggles, about student-staff solidarity, about attacks on the arts and humanities, and about why “The Goldsmiths Crisis” is a crisis for us all - but it’s not a done deal.

'Can you imagine? Trying to hollow out the arts and humanities? In the UK, where it’s one of the few things we’re good at? You don’t have to imagine it – you can see it. But I don’t think it’s a done deal.'

Thank you @[email protected] for this damning, hopeful critique.

'The culture wars aren’t being fought to destroy the humanities – rather that humanities are being destroyed because they’re incredibly inconvenient to authoritarianism.'

'The Goldsmiths Crisis' is a crisis for us all.
