Please consider supporting this struggle at Roehampton University (London, UK) as it deeply affects the studies of Drama, Theatre and Performance.
On Tuesday 17 May 2022, senior management at Roehampton University informed 226 academic staff (across the Schools of Arts, Education, Humanities and Social Sciences, Life and Health Sciences, and Psychology) that their jobs would be 'at risk'. The options are: voluntary redundancy or competing for much fewer positions, in a 'fire and rehire' move. The Drama department, for example, had about 20 people when I joined in 2019, about 10 after the first cuts in 2020 (as soon as the pandemic started) and it now will be reduced to 4.
What can we do against the cuts?
If not at Roehampton, please support by signing this petition https://chng.it/jnHQkHy7z7
If at Roehampton, or you work within institutions or in the sector of Art & Humanities please also sign to support this more formal open letter https://forms.gle/38C4yUKUd6jQS9oM8
Also, join our protest at Roehampton on Wednesday 8 June at 12noon starting in front of the Library.
