This looks...really good? And apparently in defiance of the cowardly retreat from 'gender' we've been seeing.
Some big news: the University of Birmingham is launching a new MA in Gender & Sexuality. It's interdisciplinary, with a focus on combining theory & practice. It's going to be amazing. I'm convening it: message or email with questions. www.birmingham.ac.uk/study/postgr... @unibirmingham.bsky.social

I've always been really upfront about my experiences with this. I have encountered accent-based classism (not actually a true assessment of my 'class') at every stage in my student and now academic career. It is RIFE in this country across students and also staff members. Something HAS to change.
NGLI was going to mock this as obviously made up until I saw it was Durham 💀 www.thetimes.com/uk/education...
Mocked for using the wrong spoon: working-class life at top universities
Some students say they have been made to feel alienated on campus. What can institutions do to tackle it?

That way the Holocaust is no longer entirely rooted in European antisemitism and colonialism. It's a win-win for the German state: they get to displace their role in historical and modern antisemitism unto a population of 'foreigners' that have very little political capital in German politics.
