I know things are bad in terms of recontracting at university but I have a friend that lives locally and teaches on sociology in #Edinburgh and needs work next semester. He's had a position as senior tutor. He knows what he's doing and is very professional. Any job leads on teaching?

Attention, UK:
"That should mean more job openings for U.S.-born workers, right? Wrong. Over the same period, employers announced more than 946,000 job cuts — the highest year-to-date total since 2020 — while hiring plans have fallen to a 14-year low."

NEW: The Trump administration's brutal removal of so many workers is projected to shrink the nation’s GDP by as much as 6.8% — a deeper hit than the one sustained during the Great Recession.

Taught primitive accumulation today,historical moment where people pushed off their land, had to sell crops/labour to survive. Medieval/early-modern cities were swamped by starving crowds begging for food. I said, this must've influenced the image of the zombie. Have to engage them somehow 🧟♀️
