No Cops on Campus. The University and College Union Glasgow (UCUG) is gravely concerned at the response of the university’s governing bodies to peaceful student protests relating to divestment and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

I'm in today's Times writing on the closure of Grangemouth oil refinery with @riyokoshibe.bsky.social. The workers we spoke to in our research want to be part of a green manufacturing future and deserve better. Grangemouth is the posterchild for the UK's wasteful and unjust energy transition.

I learned about Grangemouth when I worked on a CEE blog post with Riyoko last year (tinyurl.com/kbyxf46r). This event will provide a unique view into the front-lines of Scotland's Energy Transition and give a voice to those who we as a society cannot afford to leave behind. #JustTransition
