Been a while since the pink beanie came out. Sheffield pickets here we come.
Our message to management is simple: No redundancies. Stop the incessant restructures. Listen to your staff. There is no University of Sheffield without us.

It’s Day 3 of @sheffielducu.bsky.social strike today and also the national day of action for trans rights. I can’t make it to pickets today, but whether on the line, striking from home, or when back at work, this trade unionist will always back my trans colleagues and students! #unions4transrights

Love to the hundreds of Manchester queer and trans folk and allies that showed up yesterday and/or today. No time now for backing off - in every community and every workplace we will continue to demand justice, until the institutions that have so dramatically failed us and our kin change course. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

Proud as always of our union’s unequivocal support of trans people. There’s also a demo Friday afternoon at 3pm in Manchester. Hope to see many of you there.

I’m terrible at social media these days, but if anyone happens to be in Rome tomorrow, please come along to my public lecture at 4pm at Sapienza about the history of HIV and AIDS in Japan in a transnational frame.

Well the Romans certainly have a very picturesque setting for demonstrations and I couldn’t think of a better demand right now than today’s call to “disarm the patriarchy”

For the next month, I’m a visiting professor at the Istituto Italiano di Studi Orientali at Sapienza University of Rome. Looking forward to meeting students and working on some research collaboration. Stay tuned too for details of a public lecture in a few weeks, if any of you happen to be nearby!
