As someone who has spent a LOT of time thinking about co-creation over the last 15 years, I see a lot of orgs and processes claiming that things are co-created when I don’t think they really are.

Another fantastic community show from @YorkTheatre! It's sold out, but York folk should try for returns - or the filmed version which has a screening at the end of August.

Yes, 400k-worth of asymmetrical surveillance tech. to spy on teaching spaces should do absolute wonders for rebuilding damaged trust between HE academic staff & management…
Staff at @QMUL have warned that the installation of occupancy cameras in offices, laboratories and teaching spaces represents a “big step up” in surveillance on campus as they seek reassurances about how the data gathered will be used.

What, running the risk of an undemocratic selection process that destabilises the country and tanks the economy...? Oh no!
As I said just now on @itv, deep concern that rapid electronic voting by Tory members for new leader brings risk of overseas bad actor, like Russia, hacking the poll and choosing Britain’s new prime minister
Walk-Man by @DonGnu was right up my street (sorry). Simple ingredients combining in a superb dance/physical piece, with charming performers and a wry, warm wit. Run, don't walk, to get a ticket (sorry). tickets.edfringe.com/whats-o…
I've been rubbish at tweeting, but I loved Invisible Mending by the wonderful @yoshikacolwell & @Second_Body. If you're at the Fringe you've one more chance to see it today at 16.45! Lovely, warm, melancholy story, and some beautiful singing and music.

Boris Johnson goes out of his way to praise the peerless civil service in his resignation speech. The same peerless civil service that he wanted to cut by 91,000 jobs.

Quick summary of the #ussmess situation. USS calculated a deficit in 2020 by looking at the value of the pension funds assets at the most anomalous dip in stock market value of the last century. UUK propose to pay the resultant forecasted debt with our retirement income. 1/3

I didn't make the picket line this morning (storms, school run, transport) but I'm sharing what I got the chance to say at yesterday's rally outside Heslington Hall. The video doesn't have the start of my (impromptu) words...

Why are we striking? A poweful speech from our Wednesday rally by Helen Smith, the head of the English and Related Literature. drive.google.com/file/d/12I_… @UniOfYork VC, you and your fellow VCs and teams are responsible for all Helen says. Shameful. #OneOfUsAllOfUs @ucu
"If you care about your students, if you care about the future of the university, the place to be is on the picket lines." Powerful speeches - from everyone from students to heads of department - at the @UcuYork rally. #UCUstrikes
