happy to have a small part/quote in this hugely important conversation. ai is just the most recent shiny object the neoliberal university is using to gut higher ed’s mission as a social, public good. cutting educators and researchers is not the way 👎🏻 www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-in...

This is a great piece on how Melbourne Uni's anti-racism strategy has been captured by elites and used as a tool against pro-Palestine academics and students

We are excited to announce that over 10% of AAG members have signed onto the GJP petition! We're not done yet -- this week, we're making a final push to make sure we blow past that number. Especially if you've already signed, could you share the petition link with colleagues by April 11?

Who are Geographers for Justice in Palestine?

on a green background above images of protest, the slide explains:
"We are geographers, faculty, students and people of conscience organizing in response to institutional silence and complicity with the Israeli state’s colonial, discriminatory and oppressive policies towards Palestinians.

We come together in the midst of a genocidal war against Palestinians and in the aftermath of massive protests and repression on university campuses across the globe."

The very idea of so many incredible geography friends and colleagues at the University of Wollongong being in scope for possible redundancy next month is absolutely gut wrenching www.abc.net.au/news/2024-11... 1/5

University to cut 137 academics due to $35m drop in international student enrolments

The University of Wollongong has approached staff across 25 disciplines for redundancies in a restructure the union fears could abolish its degrees in history, mathematics, geography and languages.
