Train gods not with me today; 40+ minute delays. I’m currently on the last stretch between Thetford and Norwich. Apologies to guests @CJS_Uea but I’ll be there as soon as I can!
Teaching done for the day, now off to @CJS_Uea in Norwich to talk about trains, artists and activists in Postwar japan. Hope the British trains are as smooth running today as Japanese ones!
Today from 5pm in LB 0.113 here @uniofeastanglia. Refreshments provided! Come and hear @mark_pendleton talk about his recent research on Tokyo's Yamanote line. Hope to see some of you there!
The things I could do with the £7000 I’m out of pocket to the Home Office. And it gets worse every year, all while UK universities continue to ignore how this affects their staff. Are we really international? #internationalandbroke
We’ve made some good progress on support for int’l staff at Sheffield, working with @sheffielducu Time to force all UK universities to put their money where their mouths are. First step: getting a full picture. DMs to the below. #weareinternational #wearetheuniversity
Calling all international staff and anyone who cares about international staff. What is your institution’s policy on paying for staff visa costs? DMs open #USSStrike
Shameful - archives matter, and not just to us historians.
"It was decided [by the Home Office] in 2010 to destroy the [Windrush] disembarkation cards, which dated back to the 1950s and 60s" theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/a… Archives are power. Archives are everywhere. Post-colonial archival principles are needed everywhere.
Japanese media needs to find a different word to refer to sexist/sexual harassment issues. Current favored word appears to be 女性問題 (woman problem). THE MEN ARE THE PROBLEM
EXCLUSIVE! Leaked email from @AlistairJarvis to VCs from Friday shows panel expected to start in May, and implies 'cost-sharing' will be the outcome next year if nothing changes. >>> FULL TEXT >>> ucu.group.shef.ac.uk/wp-content/upl… @MikeOtsuka @AndrewChitty @JosephineCumbo @DrJoGrady
Apparently there's "no quick fix" for the Windrush problem, as though abolishing the Home Office and putting the Hostile Environment ringleaders on trial is somehow complicated
I'm ok with a below inflation pay rise again because I have my excellent final salary, I mean career average, defined benefit, I mean part defined benefit & part defined contribution, I mean defined contribution pension to look forward to.
On the train back to Sheffield from the airport to read of more proposed pay cuts (that’s over a decade’s worth by the way) on top of the increased prospect after last week of no pension to speak of. Can’t wait to get back to work! #livingtheacademicdream
CHUTZPAH ALERT!: UK University employers shamelessly trash RPI when and only when it suits their interest in cutting our pay in real terms, but not when RPI rises fill their coffers with higher tuition fees. medium.com/@mikeotsuka/un…
Great thread on managing academic workload within the hours you're actually paid to work:
How do I fit my academic job into a 37 hour week? I don’t, I couldn’t possibly because this job is impossible to do/ complete/ control. But I am not willing to give my life to it or work longer hours unpaid, so here are 10 ways I survive: 1/11
I had/have a similar panic drawer to try to protect from Home Office bullies. At least I could prepare a little, unlike the #windrush migrants. Solidarity with them and all living the nightmare that is this country’s xenophobic border regime. Petition below.
Here is my panic drawer of 4.5 years of documentation of my life in the UK. Can you imagine a #Windrush migrant managing to supply *decades* of these documents without knowing they’d need them? I sure as hell can’t. Sign the petition: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/2165…
