Janet and I were denied entry to @sheffielducu emergency meeting @SheffieldSU. We would have voted ‘no’ to this deal. #dogsonpicketlines but not in branch meetings apparently

Week 4 of #USSstrike and my students are missing a lecture on WW2 radicalized propaganda (on all sides) and now over 25% of the course (basically 1920s to 1945). Instead I’m in the rain outside @ShefUniSEAS. Would prefer to be teaching!

Spent most of the afternoon trying to catch up on Phd feedback, but ran out of time. I’m really sorry. But shame on @UniversitiesUK for dragging this mess out and letting students down so massively. Back to the pickets on Monday morning I guess! #USSstrike

Should be discussing cultures of consumption in 1920s japan with students this morning, through ads like this one. Instead, thanks to @UniversitiesUK, students miss out and I rug up to march in the snow. See you at 12pm, Sheffield. #strikeforUSS #ucustrike

Sad to miss Modern Japanese History lecture on the Taisho period today due to @UniversitiesUK intransigence. Would have been discussing ideas of democracy, modern consumer cultures, early feminists, the impacts of disasters, and rise of militarism. We want to teach! #UCUStrike

Spent my day reading @dicklp ‘s intensely moving book in preparation for discussing it with him @JapanNowNorth on 27 Feb. Gut-punching grief and anger alongside amazing stories of resilience and the power of community. I’m still wiping away tears.
