At a time when we should be investing in educators, Cardiff Met wants to lay them off. Disgraceful. Solidarity with @UCUCardiffMet members protesting at Llandaff campus on Thursday at 11.30 am against these unjust redundancies. Enough is enough. nation.cymru/news/protest-pl…

But so is stable staffing in universities
Fewer staff = bigger classes, less individual support time, higher workloads.

It is deeply concerning that Cardiff Met continue to propose Compulsory Redundancies.
Please voice your concerns - They are currently in the consultation period.

UCU have requested that Cardiff Met re-open voluntary severance, or if necessary a VOLUNTARY redundancy programme across the whole university.
Compulsory redundancies are unnecessary and short sighted

Buy nothing* day tomorrow
Do something lovely, take a walk, have a home made cuppa with a friend, marvel at the beauty of nature.
Visit your local thrift store, join a free cycle group - so much joy to be had 💕

K considers the tension between creating an authentic representation of the communities + the risk of somehow exposing or making them vulnerable.
Unlike historical ethnographic research contemporary researchers form relationships of reciprocity, trust + even friendships.
Ethnography and Intentional Communities.
