I finally got to wear the silly, funny hat last week.
Now I am flu-like-symptom-but-Covid-negative sick post-travelling. So it is as good a time as ever to do the big thank you post I’ve been putting off for so long.

I've been delving into a wonderful collection of photos taken at Melbourne's live music clubs in the sixties and will be talking about the mod menswear on show.

@hannahforsyth I'm so so sorry Hannah, I'm at a loss for words. ACU (or at least the bastards at the top) don't know what they're losing.

I don’t know what is next. I’m crazy nervous. But maybe that’s just excited butterflies.
I want to acknowledge that this nervous uncertainty is the life of the academic precariat all the time. And to say that my solidarity is and was always with you. ✊

And supervised some of the best *cough @perhaps_michael*. And most recently got to engage with newer colleagues @kfullagar @Sarah

Just as a heads up to my Melbourne friends, n*zis were just at Parliament Station. Cops keeping their distance, so they're just roaming around.

Because she hasn't gotten enough boosting yet, my wonderful colleague @hannahforsyth's new book, years in the making, has just been published. You should read it, maybe also our bosses! cambridge.org/core/books/vir…

So far I've seen two petitions doing the rounds re: the cuts at ACU, if you're wondering what you can do to support the scholars being treated so shabbily there

The administration has made a series of bizarre financial decisions like spending $250 million dollars on a new building which just opened this year. I've never seen a university building like it. They are now shocked that there is a budget crunch.

The mass layoffs at @ACU_IHSS @DIP_ACU should alarm everyone.
For context: ACU recently lured many of the world's best historians, philosophers and social scientists to Melbourne by promising them amazing conditions only to now summarily fire them all 3 years later

Its President is dismayed too. Next year will be 30 years since my first full-time lectureship in a university. I can't recall a more incompetent or brutal treatment of a group of close colleagues that this one by the Australian Catholic University.
