The session will cover the ethics and theory of oral history, planning and interview, using recording equipment and more. Previous participants have now gone on to conduct their first interviews – you could be next!
Refreshments provided, free entry.
How can we record the narratives of displacement and resistance that mark the history (and present) of housing in Glasgow and beyond? How can we develop the skills and infrastructure that enable workers and tenants to tell their own stories?

Our Custodian, @sorchadallas.bsky.social, was honoured to write the @theguardian.com obituary for sculptor and educator David Harding. As town artist in Glenrothes he embedded sculpture in everyday spaces, shaping a vision of public art that lives with the weather and the street.

Walz: "What's happening in MN defies belief. News reports simply don't do justice to the level of chaos & disruption & trauma the federal govt is raining down... This long ago stopped being a matter of immigration enforcement. Instead, it's a campaign of organized brutality against the people of MN"
Missing from the coverage of redundancies at Edinburgh: this was done in such a haphazard, uncoordinated way, there are now core teams who have gone from 5 people to 1 with no change in workload or pressure and huge loss in knowledge of institutional process. www.heraldscotland.com/news/2576321...
Happy Birthday! 🎈

The consultancy Nous takes hundreds of thousands of pounds from universities, leaves the exact same path of destruction everywhere, and keeps trying to avoid transparent contracts.
We’re urgently need control over consultancy spent in #UKHE, @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social

Clearly the title is 'Where's my mum?'
@benmacpherson.bsky.social is my MSP. I'm on strike and heading for the the picket then rally at the Scottish parliament later today. The government's education committee MUST act and intervene in the UoE's entirely unnecessary 'crisis'. Prevent further job losses & crazy sector vandalism! ✊
'It is a truth universally acknowledged that if Tom Holland’s Umbrella lip sync appears in your feed, you will watch it all the way through — every. single. time.' And repost. Currently unsure whether this is better for the soul or Kenny McLean's goal from the halfway line last night.

A satirical poem about universities. All Staff Assembly Unlike other universities We do not have an emergency However, we must continue To take action with urgency Don't let there be rupture In trust over the new role families This is not a restructure There are always some redundancies We do not work with arms companies We work with engineering firm subsidiaries Who produce dual use technologies That kill people Some of us are paid very differently But this is very good for the university You see, the disparities in our salaries Are contributions to Diversity
Someone at a Russell Group university was moved to almost-poetry by their Faculty Meeting… Can anyone do better?
This is awful. Solidarity with UK colleagues against this cruel and stupid gutting of university education and disciplinary knowledge
My branch (LEITH!) of @living-rent.bsky.social absolutely killing it in their deputation at the last council meeting as part of our campaign against rogue landlords - see 3a and stay for the Q&A. 5 mins of your time to find some hope in dark times: edinburgh.public-i.tv/core/portal/... ✊
Still some spaces left for this talk tomorrow.
Please share.
