We are excited to be launching an activist incubator - being led by the fab Cammi Gannon-Webb. We're kicking off with a tribute to the great scholar-activist #DavidGraeber.

This is a really important OA article on the money and networks behind the no and anti-cc campaigns - the #AtlasNetwork, big MNCs and the (neo)Liberal party, who've shifted so far to the right they think Malcolm Fraser was a socialist.

Pretty broad agreement across the media…. Australian university vice-chancellors reap million-dollar salaries as jobs are cut

The pandemic resulted in cost-cutting across the board in universities but one thing that was safe was vice-chancellors’ pay packets.

Indeed - the AHA's statement on this matter concludes on this very note.
Seeing as how ACU historians are presently driving @HistAustJournal, an attack on them is an attack on the journal. An attack on the journal is an attack on the @AustHistAssoc itself.
