Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art (CCA)
~ 3-minute walk from New Cross Gate Station → aka 3–4 minutes from NX London
Located off St James’s Street, this contemporary art gallery is housed inside a reimagined Grade II‑listed Victorian bath house — incredibly cool visually and 100% free to visit. It’s one of the most underrated cultural experiences in New Cross and sits only a few minutes from the hostel. [goldsmithscca.art] -

Nine organisations have withdrawn from the Goldsmiths inquiry into antisemitism, after finding that it marginalises Palestinians and appears to target those who criticise Israeli policies and Zionism.

Student protesters at Goldsmiths, University of London, win concessions, name room after Shireen Abu Akleh
“To have that recognition of a Palestinian journalist that was murdered by the [Israeli military] and have that memorialised at this university will be amazing and something we are really proud of.”

#UK #HigherEd #Humanities #Universities #Goldsmiths: "More sinister is the sense that Freedman describes: “It’s hard not to think that a culture war is being evoked against you simply for trying to think independently and critically.” Science minister Michelle Donelan’s recent shameful attack on two academics, reporting them to UKRI (the national research-funding body) for extremism and blighting their lives over an accusation that was wholly without foundation, springs to mind – but then so does almost everything Donelan and education secretary Gillian Keegan say about the sector in general, and humanities in particular. All those references to “woke ideology”, “intolerant woke bullies” and “cancel culture” are increasingly accompanied by defunding of the humanities, using increased accessibility to education as a fig leaf, as Keegan announced last week.
“Your subjects are mocked and called low value,” Freedman says. “Arts, humanities and social sciences haven’t played the instrumentalist game, so they’re seen as easy targets by tabloids, by GB News. We would laugh it off, but this is a huge asset to the British economy.” More importantly, he continues, “it’s not just a tragedy – it’s almost like a crime to shrink those spaces that provide a home for the inquisitive, the experimental. If the space disappears, it’s very hard to recreate it.”" https://www.theguardian.com/education/2024/apr/11/the-goldsmiths-crisis-how-cuts-and-culture-wars-sent-universities-into-a-death-spiral

representing as they do “a pedagogical practice that calls students beyond themselves, embraces the ethical imperative for them to care for others, embrace historical memory, work to dismantle structures of domination, and to become subjects rather than objects of history, politics, and power”.
That’s from Critical Pedagogy in the Age of Fascist Politics by the American academic Henry Giroux,...

"Arts education is essential – yet on both sides of the Atlantic, the humanities and critical thinking are under attack"
The scale of forced redundancies in English Higher Education is currently unbelievable, & it's mostly arts, humanities & critical social sciences affected.

#UK #London #Goldsmiths #Universities #Humanities #HigherEd #Neoliberalism #Austerity: "The most immediate and seemingly tangible rationale for these closures and reductions in provision is falling student numbers. But to focus on this is as if it was just a matter of student ‘choices’, market forces and the ebb and flow of fashionable and unfashionable subjects, is to obfuscate a series of interrelated factors that have made so many institutions and departments vulnerable to cuts. Turning to my own institution (where I am an active emeritus professor), there is a poignancy running through the words that follow. Quite independent of the intricacies of managerial decision making, Goldsmiths, University of London exemplifies all the admirable strengths and now the fragilities of the sector. It is not so much that Goldsmiths is such an exceptional case that it deserves singling out for special support (though that would be welcome). But rather, with a large number of compulsory redundancies announced in the last week alone, we not only need to pay critical attention with people’s livelihoods and family lives on the line, but we also need to take stock of what the future of higher education looks like in this increasingly bleak landscape. It is shocking news to us all, as the management are looking to lose 130 full-time equivalent positions across 11 departments. With so much at stake there must surely be other ways to secure financial stability. The reality is that Goldsmiths is a microcosm. It has always been something of an experiment in higher education (in the best possible sense) and now it stands to lose much of its identity and of the wider value it has delivered as an egalitarian institution dedicated to combining international research with a socially inclusive education." https://www.versobooks.com/blogs/news/a-goldsmiths-diary

Powerful piece by Angela McRobbie on the Verso blog about the threatened redundancies at Goldsmiths, University of London, and the wider attack on UK's higher education system in general, and the arts, humanities and social sciences in particular.

'The decimation of the humanities and social sciences is an affront to educational common-sense, any idea of social cohesion, needs these subject areas to be at the heart of education and everyday life.'

Yup. Me and my colleagues here at #Goldsmiths are outraged with the so-called 'Senior Management Team' who couldn't manage a piss-up in a brewery, let alone a unique university. We've just delivered a massive mandate for #strike action and action short of a strike. Going to be a stormy spring.

“You only need a little bit of critical thinking to start to see through things”.
What a perceptive thing to say; what an endorsement of the MA

4/n Today the students organised filming testimonies about the MA - will add this here when it’s edited! In the mean time, here another flyer, also designed by one of the students. I do think the fact they are voluntarily doing all this is in itself testimony to how much they appreciate the programme
