In March I did this 🧵on what anthropology offers; now I am being made redundant by Goldsmiths I just want to put it out again. I am an anthropologist & do feel I can offer a lot for climate, environment & other work beyond academia - if you see anything, let me know 🙏
The decimation of Anthropology at UK universities (Kent 😭; us at Goldsmiths facing becoming unviable due to rendundancies) is incredibly short-sighted. A short 🧵 giving 8 reasons why the world needs anthropology and anthropologists, now more than ever 1/9:

Wow. Berlin is making history. One of Germany’s largest protests ever is happening today — for Gaza. Protesters are chanting: “Free Palestine!” and “Food and water are human rights!” 🇩🇪 🇵🇸

30 motions on Gaza blocked from being debated at Labour’s conference in a week’s time. A genocide is taking place but Labour members are not being allowed to even discuss what should be the government’s response. Bureaucratic control is now out of control.

“Just days after a UN Commission of Inquiry confirmed that Israel has committed and is committing genocide in Gaza, it is shocking that Labour officials are trying to block a large influx of motions...

86% of Germans think that the military actions of Israel in Gaza are not justifiable. They're remarkably quiet about it though.

As a Green Party member who defected from @UKLabour already many moons ago, I just want to make clear that joining @TheGreenParty is not a 2nd rate or bad choice for antifascist socialists. This party is indeed antifascist and very leftist. Come along!
The proposed Corbyn-Sultana new left party galvanised so much support and hope. And it is clearly a bit of a shitshow. Given the country is veering towards fascism, this is unforgivable. If it's not resolved soon, people will switch off and just bet everything on the Greens.

Everyone on the left should join the Greens, including Jeremy and Zarah. We are on the cusp of a far-right government taking control of Britain. We haven’t got time for faffing around

A year ago, Israel detonated over 3000 boobytrapped pagers among off-duty fighters, relief workers, medical staffers and civilians. Those are some of the scores of children who were severely injured. Western media celebrated this as a “dazzling” and “daring” attack.

It's great how the media are prepping the ground for Starmer to have lost his job because of Peter Mandelson and nasty emails from staffers ten years ago, rather than because his entire political strategy has demonstrably failed by being far too right-wing.

If you're wondering why leftists are gleeful at Starmer's problems, it's important to understand that the way he treated Corbyn, dozens of left MPs, hundreds of aspiring parliamentary candidates and thousands of members has been despicable, and 100% unprecedented in UK history.
