More on the destruction of MqUni Arts. Every PoC in Sociology has been sacked or pushed into teaching only. Only 1 woman left in Politics & Intl Relations, & 1 in Sociology. At least 3/9 sacked academics are neurodiverse. Several successful researchers have been sacked or made teaching only. 2/2
Shocking analysis of the gendered, racial & disability dimensions of the sackings in Arts at Macquarie University. 7 women and 2 men made redundant. 5 of the 7 women sacked are Women of Colour. 3 of the 4 people pushed onto teaching only roles are PoC. 1/2
I signed this to prevent the State Library of Victoria (one of my favourite places on earth) from becoming a fun park. It's a library and it needs librarians! In 2025, spaces like this have never been more vital.
"VICTORIA’S TREATY: IT’S HERE is a free and family-friendly celebration to mark the historic commencement of Victoria’s Treaty" - in Narrm on Friday 12 December.

The project was an initiative by the ANU team of the Language Data Commons of Australia. The team's likely next steps, building on this project, are outlined in the report. We also hope these outputs spark future initiatives by others to help better support precarious oral history collections 3/3
It's been a privilege to develop and lead this project over the last year and a half, and to learn about the existence of so many wonderful and significant precarious oral history collections in Victoria. A huge thank you to everyone who supported, promoted & contributed to this project. 2/
