I guess an intro is in order!
Hi I’m Elle (published as Lynsay Hodges), a PhD student @ Goldsmiths.
My research uses autoethnography, participatory methods, and media analysis to investigate the lives of sexual violence survivors and the assemblages of survival that form.
Say hi if you like! 👋

I’m also interested in trauma, emotion/affect, Madness, disability studies, photography (and art more widely) as method, and both anti-carceral and anti-capitalist feminism.

'Exiting the market' is such a crap euphemism. It's not like the 'university' will then go and apply all its assets to another market. Those assets (human and non-human) will be dispersed, wasted, destroyed. Un-creative destruction. Which we can't afford as a society.
Chief exec of OfS 'said the OfS believes there are 24 institutions at risk of exiting the market in the next 12 months, seven of which are large providers with more than 3,000 students. There are another 25 or so institutions of various sizes at risk over a two- to three-year period, she added.'
Seven ‘large providers’ at risk of going under in the next year
Skills minister says no higher education institutions are at imminent risk of collapse this year but OfS confirms more than 20 providers are being closely monitored

Kind of surprised no one has made a pet bed that looks like a mound of gold and priceless gems so that your pet looks like it is sleeping atop a dragon hoard

Things like this are never about saving money and they often increase costs. They're about making sure that disabled people feel a suitable amount of shame.

Seeing how much of the right-wing on Twitter is just bot farms, kinda lays bare how much hate and hatred is a project that needs to be constantly maintained, a fire that needs to be fed all the time lest it go out for a moment, so much time, effort, and resources to keep people angry and hateful.

Death of the author is about literary interpretations of a work that disagrees with the authors own stated intent. It has nothing to do with materially supporting an artist and it makes no sense to talk about it that way!

Larry Summers is not an outlier + is not just a high profile case showing a rot that only exists in US HE. This is commonplace for students + staff in UK HE too, even after the hard work of many to expose it. This is just an emblem of the many quiet cases that happen everyday.

I know that at this point it's a subplot in the Epstein files drama, but I feel compelled to point out, once again, that Larry Summers HAS NO BUSINESS teaching students at ANY university ever again!

Why Is Larry Summers Still Employed?
The revelations about the economist’s attempts to pressure a women into a “relationship”—with guidance from Jeffrey Epstein—should finally disqualify him from teaching students.

Supervision went really well today and it was a lesson in how I do not know how to accept praise, particularly from two people I really respect 😭
Also, trust me to pick a subject where my literature review is so long it needs to be TWO chapters. Fortunately, most of the text is already there!

I keep thinking about the Raymond Williams line: "To be truly radical is to make hope possible rather than despair convincing".
Hope is not easy. Despair seems obvious. But every howl of despair manifests as further malignance. Compliance with fascism is despair metastasising.
