  1. Hung out with these awe-inspiring librarians today to chat about our favourite thing for an hour at #National24 (ALIA National), celebrating the #OER movement in Australasia and strategising our way around the challenges still ahead.

    Katy Henry (CAUL) did an exceptional job facilitating our discussion while Sarah McQuillen discussed UniSA’s textbook minimisation project and navigating the barriers to integrating OER into course materials, Angie Williamson shared Deakin’s approach to ensuring quality and reliability in OER publishing, and Jennifer Hurley (RMIT) gave guidance on the institutional supports required to build sustainable open educational practice.

    I spoke about measuring impact beyond cost, referring to Sarah Lambert’s insightful work on the 3Rs of social justice.

    What a wonderful start to the conference! I can’t wait to dive into the other Open Ed sessions throughout the week 🤩 And am particularly keen to check out Emilia (emi-lee-ah) Bell’s session tomorrow giving us a glimpse into their PhD research “Open to diplomacy? Libraries, knowledge, and global challenges”.

    P.S. Excited speaker landyard pic included because aahhh! What a vibe today!

  2. "Love costs, but it's worth the grind
    Love lost by the loss of time
    Love work in the present life
    I'm off to get lost in mine"

  3. If you'd like to support us, get the word out about how Deakin is treating its staff!

    If you'd like to support us money-wise, particularly the casual staff who are taking a bigger hit than us, please consider donating to our strike fund:

  4. Here's all the #Deakin #NTEU #Strike stuff I was in. Thank you to everyone who asked for my opinion on this!

    I did a 3-minute video explaining why I was taking strike action here: youtu.be/jIBunuMifnk

    I was in the Geelong Advertiser talking about how Deakin treats it staff: geelongadvertiser.com.au/geelo

    That is paywalled so the parts of the article involving me are attached (with alt-text).

    I was on @3CRMelbourne's @slacker_radio talking with @ULTROS_PROFESSIONAL and @beef_skeleton about Deakin, their treatment of staff, and why we were striking. That starts from about 10 minutes here: omny.fm/shows/the-suwa-show-sq

  5. This morning I recorded a video giving the reason I'm going on #strike at #Deakin with the #NTEU tomorrow. This arvo I did an interview with the Geelong Addy. Tomorrow I speak at the rally. You're going to be seeing quite a bit of me if you follow the strike tomorrow.

    There are a lot of casual staff that are striking with us and not getting paid what they would be (none of us are, but they're in an even worse position!). Please donate to the strike fund to help them recoup their lost wages!

    here's the video where I explain why I'm striking tomorrow:

  6. Today I'm taking strike action at #Deakin University. Deakin's offered sub-standard EA, which voting opens up for today, is an insult to staff, and shows how poorly they understand what is happening at Deakin.

    For more information, see these:

    I also wrote a blog post about how Deakin keeps crying poor while making profits and using that as an excuse to destroy the staff and culture at the university. No more.

    If you're at #Deakin, I highly encourage you to vote NO on their shitty offer. Deakin has ruined us for too long while making profits. The scales need to be balanced.

  7. In this informative talk from , @[email protected] - Kat Cain from University, reports on the design and publication of an textbook, using the platform.

    Using a philosophy, the project collaborated with diverse students and staff, transforming learning from physical to digital.

  8. Management decided to start a Team and invite a few hundred workers to it. This lead to....

  9. I've posted a blog entry about voting YES on the PABO at Deakin. It goes over how badly Deakin has treated the staff, as well as why NTEU members should authorise every type of industrial action in the vote.

  10. Healthy eating is not 'more expensive' for the typical Aussie metro area. It's cheaper. Wholefood vegan diets are even cheaper still (this research is based on the so-called 'Planetary Health Diet' which still trashes the environment with fish and meat).

  11. Do I or do you know people in #Melbourne? I’ll be there for six weeks in February and March and except for working with people at #Deakin, have no clue or plans. Any suggestions are welcome, especially for food, culture, trips out of the city 🙏
