Goldsmiths has decided to terminate my employment as part of a devastating restructure. With no specialist staff, this means the closure of the MA Queer History, the world's only MA degree of its kind. This is an afront to my students, colleagues, and community. It is vandalism.

On Friday evening Goldsmiths confirmed to 5 academic staff in History and our dept business manager that they are all to be made redundant. I am not amongst those who will lose their jobs, but I am devastated by the loss of brilliant colleagues and friends; they deserve better.

In the immediate short-term this means that the MA Queer History has not been cancelled as many feared it might be. That doesn’t yet mean that it's safe or that we can be confident of its long-term stability or support at Goldsmiths. The need to fight for Queer History continues.

These are only the most recent losses to History, already decimated by voluntary redundancies and resignations leaving it a husk of the vibrant place it was when I joined in 2017. And these redundancies are only the first round of several that will now rip through other depts.

5/ Our MA in Black British History @blackbrithistMA and MA in Queer History @QueerHistGold need a thriving disciplinary culture around them to continue to flourish. We are training new generations of scholars to write histories that have been structurally excluded from UK history
