Save Birkbeck Geography

We are the Save Birkbeck Geography Collective & we stand against threats by @BirkbeckUoL's Senior Management Team to cut up to 140 jobs across the college, including half of @bbkgeography. These cuts will devastate the department & the college. #SaveBirkbeck #SaveBBKGeograhy

Look at the beautiful programme of teach-outs we have coming up this week and next! Kicking off with @trillingual and @scalderonharker tomorrow evening. #ucuRISING

THIS! 🔥 From one of our brilliant MSc International Development students @BirkbeckUoL ❤ #SaveBirkbeck #SaveBirkbeckGeography

Now more than ever we must show our opposition to Management’s unjust and short-sighted redundancies! Please continue to spread the petition - 400 have signed so far, let’s make it 1000! This our OUR university and we will not stand to see it torn apart! apart!

Last night, as staff returned from their evening classes, they received an 📩 from @BirkbeckUoL's Vice Chancellor with details of how we can 'recover, grow and thrive' (🪴?) by making 'staff savings' of £12M. 🎯Yes folks, yours truly is still in the zone of fire. 🎯1/3

IT'S CRUNCH TIME! 💥 In 4 days the Governors vote on the future of Birkbeck. If you are a student this is your final opportunity to have your voice heard, to stand up for working class and black/brown education! SHARE SHARE SHARE! docs.google.com/document/d/1WA…

I love teaching Intro to Human Geography. Never get tired of exploring this beautiful thing called geographical imagination ...

"I sincerely hope the institution does not go down this obscure path and that ALL its workers – from the department of geography and beyond – can continue doing what they do best: influencing and transferring their knowledge to their students." (6/6)

"Not to mention the university's failure to fulfil its social commitment to providing higher education for people like myself, who would not otherwise have the opportunity to follow this path." (5/6)

Happy new year to everyone and specially to our wonderful students who keep on demonstrating support in multiple ways. From a feedback form: "There is not a single complaint in regard to the department of geography as a whole..." (1/6) #SaveBirkbeck #SaveBBKGeography
