ADD YOUR NAME: We need a fairer local voting system for all elections in England In England the electoral system means we often get councils that do not represent what people voted for. Wales has made progress, but England is being left behind.

Petition: Local councils should match how we vote. They do in Scotland, N. Ireland and Wales where councils can choose a fairer system. This is not (yet) the case in England. Add your name to @electoralreform.bsky.social's call for fairer practices: action.electoral-reform.org.uk/page/2401/pe...

Awful! I'm so sorry!

The entire University of Leicester website is down. After all the redundancies that just happened, my first thought was: did they sack the IT people?

„Radikale Töchter“: Demokratieförderung nach Gutsherrenart Das Innenministerium stoppt die Weiterförderung eines Demokratie-Projekts. Eine Begründung liefert es dafür nicht. Dabei hat das Projekt gute Chancen, gegen die Ablehnung zu klagen – sagt selbst ...

Es ist ein bisher einmaliger Vorgang: Eine Bundesbehörde will ein Demokratie-Projekt weiterfördern – aber das Innenministerium untersagt die Finanzierung ohne Begründung und trotz Warnung anderer Beamten.

Wir veröffentlichen die Dokumente zum Förderstopp gegen die "Radikalen Töchter":

Notes on researching and teaching histories of racialisation Although I am not currently teaching, I continue to work on teaching materials. Right now, I am revising a chapter that was prompted by the connections of Bernhard Varenius (1622-50), a geographer …

UK university staff: please complete our survey about redundancies Academic or professional staff, employed or unemployed, we are anxious to hear your perspectives

Have any of your colleagues recently been made redundant by a UK university? Have you? Do you fear losing your job? What has been the effect of redundancies on departmental morale? We are keen to hear your views

We would love for @jaytoddgla.bsky.social’s and my critical response to be read widely, given the Sullivan Review’s potential for far-reaching implications across the social and health sciences — and indeed well beyond the academy

Although I am currently unemployed, I have donated to the @ndncollective.bsky.social Legal Fund for the defense of their Founder and CEO who is on trial for fabricated & politically motivated charges. Please donate, too! donate.ndncollective.org/campaign/671...

Global Warming At 3 °C By 2050? What's Behind The New German Climate Warning German scientists warn global warming is accelerating faster than expected, raising the risk of a 3 °C rise by 2050 and forcing Europe to confront unthinkable adaptation plans. German scientists warn ...

Have just been reading about the plans to gut geology, paleobiology and geography at Leicester - where many of the key figures who have developed the Anthropocene concept are based - Mark Williams, Jan Zalasiewicz, Colin Waters… absolute insanity. Institutional vandalism.

Geology and palaeobiology at the University of Leicester are under threat, with at least 14 staff expected to be made redundant. Support them, their postdocs, and their students by signing this petition: c.org/SK8Xm8dhqK
