>"On September 22, 3-4pm, Professor Tim Ingold is visiting the
>university to talk about the experiences of academics at Aberdeen in
>what they call 'Reclaiming the University.' This has been a concerted
>effort to revitalise Senate, which had become ineffective at exercising
>proper academic governance. Scholars at Aberdeen generated a mass
>movement of open conversation to draw up a manifesto and make Senate
>work better, pushing back against the extra prerogatives and powers
>that the so-called 'management' had accrued to themselves (they even
>contested the notion of management as non-statutory). It is a
>fascinating and inspiring story of the effort to restore sane,
>democratic governance of the university by the university.

>Tim will give a short talk, followed by Q&A and UCU welcome-back drinks
>in the Mezzanine of Northern Stage. All are welcome to what should be a
>useful way to reflect on how senate is working here and how it could
>work better. Please encourage as many folk in your units as possible to
>come along."
