Our book cover is finally here! What does the state do to our imaginations? How does it maintain its central place in how we see ourselves, the world, and our place in it? How can we unlearn statism and open up lively futures rooted in the freedom of equals? Coming May 2024

Reposted without comment on Cardiff's recent appointment of a generously remunerated Chief Transformation Officer and significant numbers of professional services staff being seconded into his team. Under the auspices of efficiency, of course.
We are so committed to streamlining and being effective, we have created a new college-level department of effectiveness. And to prove we are serious, we added an associate dean to run the new department.

Cardiff University has enormous cash reserves they're choosing not to even dip into. Maybe not as much as £0.5bn (eg some might be tied up in investments), but definitely amounting to the hundreds of millions. All while pleading poverty. #cardiffuni

The top 12 senior managers at @cardiffuni collectively 'earned' £2.3 million in 2023. A mean of £192,000 each, excluding perks. And they have just announced proposed cuts of at least 400 of the people who actually do the work.
Numbers & cost of actual professors have stayed pretty much same over last 5 years The “professionalisation” of universities has resulted in bloated & unaccountable administration overheads In numbers & salaries, these are a big cause of operating deficits & hence the crisis

New issue of ACME journal has a superb paper by my former PhD student Owain Hanmer, looking at the relations between #commoning and the #lifecourse in community gardens. So pleased to see this important work published!

This looks good!
📢New open access article w/ @aurelmondon in @BritJPIR 📢 We discuss how anti-populist discourse constructs a circumscribed version of 'the people', whose only proper role is to support 'good' and 'responsible' liberal elites. Check it out below!

So, with caveats, rebuilding popular, self-organised and combative institutions within communities and workplaces still needs to be a priority for the anti-fascist left. This could be online or offline - preferably both (& I'm as guilty as any other for not doing enough of this!)
