Devastating news of sociologist redundancies at @GoldsmithsUoL Heart-breaking for those involved. Our solidarity and sympathy is with all affected.

I can't believe the institutional violence being leveled at sociology in Goldsmiths. Personal costs to colleagues are primary of course, but the collective attack on such a vital centre of the discipline is something to reckon with collectively too. Solidarity to all affected.
