yes, this needs to be said and grateful to our UCU branch for saying it
1. Fascism is bad
Those of you attending the All-Staff Assembly this week will have heard the VC declining the opportunity to state that fascism is bad, pointing to the university's role as a politically neutral actor. From the UCU's perspective, we would like to take this opportunity to say that we do think that fascism is bad and we also think that this is an example of when political neutrality reaches absurd limits, much as it does in relation to genocide. There is no neutrality when it comes to fascism. Instead, neutrality becomes an abdication of the duty to think. Not least, we believe that the university can and should do more to stand up for Global Majority colleagues who feel increasingly threatened in a context of the rise of the far right. This is an area in which we have been campaigning and will continue to do so.

Jay Todd @jaytoddgla.bsky.social and I have published today in @tibg.bsky.social a critical response to the UK Government-commissioned "Sullivan Review" of sex and gender in data and research collection rgs-ibg.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
ABSTRACT
This intervention argues that the UK Government-commissioned independent review of data, statistics and research on sex and gender (the ‘Sullivan Review’) implicitly promotes the erasure of trans and gender diverse people from research and data collection protocols and carries worrying implications for the inclusion of trans people within UK institutions and for critical social science research. Set in a context where trans and gender diverse people's rights are being rolled back in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, the Review attempts to install a singular model of binary, immutable, ‘biological’ sex as incontrovertible across data gathering on sex and gender across public bodies including government, universities, the health service and research organisations. It does so via appeals to science and to ‘clarity’, and by proposing to limit or even in certain cases remove default ethical review processes. The intervention argues that the Review can be situated within broader attempts to erase critical inquiry into the complex, intersectional production of social categories including sex, gender and sexuality, as well as inquiries that extend what ethical principles and governance involve. In sum, we contend that the Review carries deleterious consequences for geography and other social scientific disciplines and call upon scholars to refuse its vision and implications.

📣 Today @felicitycallard.bsky.social and I have published the first peer-reviewed response to the 'Sullivan Review' of research and data on sex and gender. doi.org/10.1111/tran... The Review could threaten trans rights and inclusion, erode academic freedom, and undermine research quality.
Graphic reading 'the UK Government-commissioned 'Sullivan Review' of sex and gender in data and research collection threatens British research and trans inclusion. Here's why.'

The proposed policy is abominable, and something we oppose in its entirety. The University's knee-jerk reaction has caused immense stress to trans colleagues and the University's 'apology' does not go nearly far enough in expressing a commitment to being a safe employer for Trans comrades.
