Please find attached a briefing document (in various formats) about the
closure by the Uni of
Birmingham of its famous Cultural Studies and Sociology Department, and the
sacking of its staff; and about the campaign against this. TYhe information
has been cobbled together from the Birmingham AUT Newsletter and other
emails that have been circulating in Cultural Studies networks in the UK.
Former students or staff of the Dept have until July 15th to add your names
to a letter of protest to be published in the Times Higher Education
Supplement.
Feel free to circulate this email as widely as possible.
