✨What is sensory urbanism and how do undergraduate students understand, investigate, and interpret it? This summer, I took 3 students to deliver a fieldwork around this theme, with Shanghai as the research site. This video shows their understanding and affective experiences of the urban space👇:

If now we can post photos with filters and multiple edits to create a polished image of the urban (even could be misleading and fake), does that mean there is a new urban aestheticisation process happening in the digital age? @ijurresearch.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

Update: in dialogue with the journal editors now. Thanks to those who stepped up as allies and friends to also raise their concerns. While I'm disappointed in the research quality, I'm more cut up by the class discrimination. I wouldn't wish "a taste for deprivation" on anyone else.

For those that remain, our jobs are changing rapidly. Many are being ‘restructured’ into new roles, or being merged into new ‘units’. For academics many of us are loosing our disciplinary identity as we get merged into mega-schools of Social Science

The crisis in British higher education is acute + painful right now. If you are in it you already know this, but for those who are not I want to share what is going on. As strikes start at Newcastle Uni + others will doubtless follow, now is a time for solidarity + resistance
