Disappointed but not surprised
It seems universities are willing to acknowledge PWO's existence only when we get them some significantly bad PR... An unfortunately predictable response that of course sidesteps our main claim for employment rights. Some points 🧵 irishtimes.com/opinion/letter…
The first paper from my PhD research is now published in International Migration Review! @IMRjournal I explored the role of local relational dynamics in shaping the experiences of forced migrants and asylum professionals in Italy. ➡️ doi.org/10.1177/019791…

My only opinion on the whole Oxford-PhD fiasco is a milquetoast take which should be uncontroversial: All education from kindergarten to Masters should be 100% free for everyone, and Doctoral research should be recognised for what it is- productive labour. Therefore, all doctoral
Some of our members in the Irish Times this morning with a strong message on the concerning trends within Irish academia. Universities are increasingly run like businesses, and PhD researchers (especially non-EU) are on the coalface of this. 👇👇

Me visiting a part of the university outside the humanities and social sciences
In non-academic writing news (but still kind of academic), my friend Jack and I co-wrote an article about PhD workers’ rights and Irish unionism. Thanks @Rundale_Media @CriostoirKing for hosting and supporting us! (Join @PWO_Ireland)
The January issue of Rundale is out with four new pieces covering: 🔹The Postgraduate Workers' Organisation 🔹The Irish Penal Abolition Network 🔹Limitations of cost rental housing 🔹The need to maintain pressure for a full academic boycott of Israeli institutions.
This + new Home Office immigration rules = every lecturer/early career researcher in the UK is going to be a (probably independently wealthy) British person. How does that benefit research, science and innovation?
"One of Oxford’s top colleges, Christ Church, which had an income of £42.6m in 2022-23, is currently advertising a stipendiary lectureship in modern European history for £15,244 to £16,983." Still at it. A university that runs on abuse and exploitation theguardian.com/education/2024…

"Israel’s warfare in Gaza is consistent with the characteristics of genocide, with mass civilian casualties and life-threatening conditions intentionally imposed on Palestinians there," finds the UN Special Committee to investigate Israeli practices. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…
"rising inequality is legitimated by the popular belief that the income gap is meritocratically deserved: the more unequal a society, the more likely its citizens are to explain success in meritocratic terms... the less important... a person’s family wealth and connections."
