This is such a grotesque attempt to make it impossible for trans people to exist in public. To do it in the name of "equality and human rights" is especially cruel. Solidarity to all UK trans friends and colleagues facing this collective madness. www.timeshighereducation.com/news/ehrc-gu...

EHRC guidance on single-sex spaces a ‘big shift’ for universities

New code confirms trans people can be excluded from facilities on basis of biological sex but experts say that does not make grappling with competing responsibilities any easier

Welsh government announces general Higher Education review. At last and at least *someone* is doing *sonething*. The university finance situation in Wales is by far the most dire of all the UK nations, so this is urgent. But in England, still nada. www.walesonline.co.uk/news/educati...

Major review of universities in Wales announced after years of cuts

The Welsh Government will look at university funding and organisation as bosses face a black hole of almost £100m

I used to teach gender studies, now the year long course doesn't exist. The Centre of Gender Studies closed. Today people have to use the public toilet that is prescribed to an unworkable idea of biological sex. My students wouldn't want this, they envisioned a future of equality not exclusion.

Admittedly I gave this a weird title but Future Relics is back! 🌀 I reflect on my recent talk for the alternative free art school JWLLRS and discuss what I read, watched and enjoyed in July. Read it full and for free here: open.substack.com/pub/emilyeho... emilyehoyle.substack.com/p/the-climat...

The Climate of Motherhood and Antidotes to Tech Bromance Induced Nausea

In July's edition of Future Relics, I reflect on my talk for the art school JWLLRS, how falling birth rates reframe narratives about motherhood, canine companionship, and Donald Trump's bromances.

Instead of the news (I'm looking at you BBC) leading with Zac Polanski refusing to apologise, they should have been leading with the billion of plastic pellets spilt into our seas that will have longer term implications on our environment and wildlife. oceanographicmagazine.com/news/billion...

Billion-pellet plastic spill blights North East Coast

Private shipping firms face fury from local communities and the regional mayor over a slow response to the UK's worst-ever microplastic spill

They never cared about women’s sports before it became politically convenient. Equal pay? Pfffft. Rampant sexual abuse? Sorry that keeps happening. An excuse to attack a tiny population of vulnerable transgender athletes? “PROTECT WOMENS’ SPORTS!”

In this piece for the FT @hetanshah.bsky.social articulates how the closures of humanities depts is impacting ECRs (I know that personally) and how elitism is a consequence. He makes the case for the humanities in the age of AI, but reading it may break your heart: www.ft.com/content/fbde...

We need humanities more than ever in the age of AI

Subjects like literature, languages and history are vital to a thoughtful and prosperous society

I have more to say about this but when I taught Gender Studies at HE I introduced a week on masculinities, now that entire course doesn't exist. What more evidence is needed of the importance of gender studies than a state injecting its troops with testosterone?

After ten years I am leaving the North West but not before sharing my research with the wonderful arts project Jewellers. Come along and discuss tech bros, longevity, AI imaginaries and pronatalism with me. My final goodbye.
