This post is to close the circle, and offer some resources to those of you who might stumble across it in the future.<br /><br />Just as we predicted over a year and a half ago (see top left corner of the CounterMap) QMary has now officially joined the Russel Group, to the great delights of its Principal and to the dismay of the local and international students whose grades, income and profile won't cut the elite mustard.<br />Everywhere the process of neoliberalisation of university education is becoming ever more shameless and relentless. In the next academic year UK home students will be charged three times the current tuitions fees, while the UKBA monsters have all but multiplied, making this country and its education system ever more inaccessible except for the lucky few. On the bright side, new education sector strikes and marches are being called for next autumn, hopefully offering a space for organising and debating after this confused year of picking up the pieces of last year's student movement.<br /><br />As for our countermapping efforts, about a year ago we were asked by Lateral to write a short reflection on the making of the map and the game, and it is with great pleasure that we are finally announcing its publication in the first issue of the journal: <a href="http://www.culturalstudiesassociation.org/lateral/issue1/countermapping.html" target="_blank">http://www.<wbr>culturalstudiesassociation.<wbr>org/lateral/issue1/<wbr>countermapping.html</a><br />Beside the text, Lateral has also created a navigable version of the map, which can finally be downloaded in high resolution, and, most importantly, an interactive version of the game!<br /><br />We hope this will provide a useful online reference for all that are mapping and challenging the rules of the neoliberal university across the globe!<br /><br />in struggle and maps,<br />Counter/Mapping QmaryCountermap QMaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06329453262061228698noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5019159635105397965.post-13919955223231989832010-11-16T13:09:00.000-08:002010-11-16T13:12:17.339-08:00Sussex is in Occupation!"This afternoon, over 170 students occupied the lecture theatre in the Fulton building at the University of Sussex in protest of the trebling of tuition fees and the attack on our education system.<br />In light of Wednesday’s demonstration, which saw 52,000 people come out in opposition to the government’s proposed cuts to education and raising of fees, we feel it is necessary for further action to consolidate the efforts made so far and push on in the opposition to these ideologically motivated cuts to both education specifically and public services as a whole.<br />We reject the notion that these cuts are necessary or for the benefit of society. There are viable alternatives which are not being explored. While the government has suggested that ‘we are all in this together’, we completely reject this and are insulted that these cuts are being pushed through alongside reductions in corporate tax."<br /><br />The the occupation blog <a href="http://defendsussex.wordpress.com/">here</a><br /><br />The countermappers send their solidarity to the great folk of the south!Countermap QMaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06329453262061228698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5019159635105397965.post-39851646334871322762010-11-16T13:08:00.000-08:002010-11-16T13:17:37.814-08:00The Real Violence is not a Smashed Window, but in Debt, Forced Labour, the war in Afghanistan (et fucking cetera)<p>1. Sign the <a href="http://www.petitiononline.com/st53231/petition.html" title="petition">petition</a>: Stand with protesters against victimisation. </p> <p>2. Wednesday’s national NUS/UCU 50,000 strong national demonstration was a magnificent show of strength against the Con Dems’ savage attacks on education. The Tories want to make swingeing cuts, introduce £9,000 tuition fees and cut EMA. These attacks will close the doors to higher education and further education for a generation of young people.</p> <p>During the demonstration over 5,000 students showed their determination to defend the future of education by occupying the Tory party HQ and its courtyards for several hours. The mood was good-spirited, with chants, singing and flares.</p> <p>Yet at least 32 people have now been arrested, and the police and media appear to be launching a witch-hunt condemning peaceful protesters as “criminals” and violent.</p> <p>A great deal is being made of a few windows smashed during the protest, but the real vandals are those waging a war on our education system.</p> <p>We reject any attempt to characterise the Millbank protest as small, “extremist” or unrepresentative of our movement.</p> <p>We celebrate the fact that thousands of students were willing to send a message to the Tories that we will fight to win. Occupations are a long established tradition in the student movement that should be defended. It is this kind of action in France and Greece that has been an inspiration to many workers and students in Britain faced with such a huge assault on jobs, benefits, housing and the public sector.</p> <p>We stand with the protesters, and anyone who is victimised as a result of the protest.</p> <p>Initial signatories include (all in a personal capacity):<br />Mark Bergfeld, NUS NEC<br />Ashok Kumar, Vice-President Education LSE<br />Vicki Baars, NUS LGBT Officer women’s place<br />Sean Rillo Raczka, Birkbeck SU Chair and NUS NEC (Mature Students’ Rep)<br />Nathan Bolton, Campaigns Officer Essex SU<br />James Haywood, Campaigns Officer Goldsmiths College SU<br />Steve Hedley, London regional organiser RMT<br />Wanda Canton, Women’s Officer QMUL<br />Michael Chessum, Education and Campaigns Officer UCL SU<br />Jade Baker, Education Officer Westminster Uni SU<br />Dan Swain, Essex Uni SU Postgrad Officer<br />To add your name or organisation email <span id="eeEncEmail_9PmRvFI1No"><a href="mailto:teneleventen@gmail.com">teneleventen@gmail.com</a></span><br />Join our facebook page <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/We-need-unity-defend-the-Millbank-protestors/128397300550227">http://www.facebook.com/pages/We-need-unity-defend-the-Millbank-protestors/128397300550227</a><br />From the site: <a href="http://teneleventen.wordpress.com/">http://teneleventen.wordpress.com/</a></p> <p>Taken from <a href="http://www.coalitionofresistance.org.uk/?p=3543" title="here">here</a>.</p> <p>3. Dear Sir/Madam,<br />We the undersigned wish to congratulate staff and students on the magnificent anti-cuts demonstration on Wednesday (‘Riot marks end of era of consensus’, Independent, 11 November). At least 50,000 people took to the streets to oppose the coalition government’s devastating proposals for education.</p> <p>We also wish to condemn and distance ourselves from the divisive and, in our view, counterproductive statements issued by the UCU and NUS leadership concerning the occupation of the Conservative Party HQ. The real violence in this situation relates not to a smashed window but to the destructive impact of the cuts and privatisation that will follow if tuition fees are increased and if massive reductions in HE funding are implemented.</p> <p>Wednesday’s events demonstrate the deep hostility in the UK towards the cuts proposed in the Comprehensive Spending Review. We hope that this marks the beginning of a sustained defence of public services and welfare provision as well as higher education.</p> <p>Signed:<br />Emma Dowling, Queen Mary, University of London,<br />Dr. Matteo Mandarini, Queen Mary, University of London,<br />Liam Campling, Queen Mary, University of London<br />Dr. Alberto Toscano, Goldsmiths, University of London<br />Dr. John Wadworth, Goldsmiths, University of London<br />Dr. Des Freedman, Goldsmiths, University of London<br />Dr. Nina Power, Roehampton University<br />Clare Solomon, President University of London Union<br />Dr. Peter Thomas, Brunel University<br />Dr. Alex Anievas, University of Cambridge<br />Matilda Woulfe, Queen Mary, University of London<br />Dr. Victoria Sentas, King’s College London<br />Toni Prug, Queen Mary, University of London<br />Prof David Miller, Strathclyde University<br />Matthew Woodcraft, Goldsmiths, University of London<br />Richard Iveson, Goldsmiths, Goldsmiths, University of London<br />Dr. Carrie Hamilton, Roehampton University<br />Dr. Nicole Wolf, Goldsmiths, University of London<br />Dr. Gavin Butt, Goldsmiths, University of London<br />Marsha Bradfield, University of the Arts London<br />Manuela Zechner, Queen Mary University of London<br />Dr. Matthew Fuller, Goldsmiths, University of London<br />Prof. John Hutnyk, Goldsmiths, University of London<br />Dr. Luciana Parisi, Goldsmiths, University of London<br />Dr. Maud Anne Bracke, University of Glasgow<br />Janna Graham, Goldsmiths, University of London<br />Heidi Hasbrouck, Goldsmiths, University of London<br />Gordon Asher, University of Glasgow<br />Dr. Goetz Bachmann, Goldsmiths, University of London<br />Gerry Mooney, Open University<br />Dr. Catherine Eschle, University of Strathclyde<br />Dr. Filippo Del Lucchese, Brunel University<br />Dr David Lowe, Liverpool John Moores University<br />Tom Bunyard, Goldsmiths, University of London<br />Danai Konstanta, Goldsmiths, University of London<br />Bue Ruebner Hanssen, Queen Mary, University of London<br />Dr Alana Lentin, University of Sussex<br />Dr. Armin Beverungen, University of the West of England<br />Bipasha Ahmed, University of East London<br />Dr T L Akehurst, University of Sussex and Open University<br />Alex Anievas, University of Cambridge<br />Gordon Asher, University of Glasgow<br />Dr Maurizio Atzeni, Loughborough University<br />Camille Barbagallo, Queen Mary, University of London<br />Dr Armin Beverungen, University of the West of England<br />Dr. Maud Anne Bracke, University of Glasgow<br />Liam Campling, Queen Mary, University of London<br />Dr Svetlana Cicmil, University of the West of England<br />Dr Caroline Clarke, University of the West of England<br />Dr Chris Cocking, London Metropolitan University<br />Katherine Corbett, Middlesex University<br />Dr. Michael P.

Essentially, Browne is contending that we should no longer think of higher education as the provision of a public good, articulated through educational judgment and largely financed by public funds (in recent years supplemented by a relatively small fee element). Instead, we should think of it as a lightly regulated market in which consumer demand, in the form of student choice, is sovereign in determining what is offered by service providers (i.e. universities). The single most radical recommendation in the report, by quite a long way, is the almost complete withdrawal of the present annual block grant that government makes to universities to underwrite their teaching, currently around £3.9 billion. This is more than simply a ‘cut’, even a draconian one: it signals a redefinition of higher education and the retreat of the state from financial responsibility for it.’<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">see more <a href="http://www.lrb.co.uk/v32/n21/stefan-collini/brownes-gamble">here</a><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p> <h1 style="font-weight: bold;"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--> </h1><p style="font-weight: bold;" class="MsoNormal">UCU on the meaning of the Cuts and Tuition Fee Hike:</p> <h1><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:worddocument> <w:view>Normal</w:View> <w:zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:punctuationkerning/> <w:validateagainstschemas/> <w:saveifxmlinvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:ignoremixedcontent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:alwaysshowplaceholdertext>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:compatibility> <w:breakwrappedtables/> <w:snaptogridincell/> <w:wraptextwithpunct/> <w:useasianbreakrules/> <w:dontgrowautofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:browserlevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:latentstyles deflockedstate="false" latentstylecount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]--> </h1><p class="MsoNormal">“Degree costs hiked up 312% since 1988 and set to rise another 101% by 2012” – the uni union throwing around useful stats.</p> ...<a href="http://www.ucu.org.uk/index.cfm?articleid=5109">more</a> of this<br /><br /><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.ucu.org.uk/index.cfm?articleid=5109"><br /></a></p>Countermap QMaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06329453262061228698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5019159635105397965.post-3065601630768089242010-10-13T07:35:00.000-07:002010-10-13T09:02:15.742-07:00Points-Based Immigration in Context: this Saturday 16th<span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">//Join Countermapping QMary at the PBSI Conference this Saturday\\<br /><br /></span><a href="http://www.pbiscampaigning.org/">http://www.pbiscampaigning.org/</a><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"><br />WHEN: Saturday 16th October 2010</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">, 10am to 4pm<br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">WHERE: University of London Union, Malet Street, London WC1</span><br /></span><br />This conference will present new research on issues related to the<br />points-based immigration system (PBIS) as it affects Further and<br />Higher Education.

You can download it in all it's glory here: http://www.bis.gov.uk/assets/biscore/corporate/docs/s/10-1208-securing-sustainable-higher-education-browne-report.pdf but media coverage has so far been very good and is an easier option than trawling through the 64 pages of this report. While this is a Stop the Cuts mailing list I'm keen to emphasise the question of HE funding is one side of the same coin as the cuts. The Browne report represents the first salvo in this battle. Cuts in state funding to HE are only possible if individual contributions by students are to be radically increased to, at least partly, cover the shortfall. In line with general government strategy funding is shifting from the State to the Individual with little concern as to ability to pay (the 'Big Society'). Resistance to the lifting of the cap on fees (as this report recommends) is a key part of the battle against cuts. With Vince Cables announcement that the graduate tax is off the table it looks increasingly likely that the recommendations in this report will be adopted. The next key date is the 20th October and the release of the Comprehensive Spending Review, at which point we should know the full extent of the cuts to both HE and the public sector.<br /><br />Progress has been made on several of the proposals agreed at the last general meeting. We are calling a protest at QM to coincide with the release of the Spending Review and the nationwide anti-cuts day of action.

Harmondsworth immigration removal centre will, from next month, be able to hold more than 630 detainees at any one time, according to a report published today.<br /><br />The privately run immigration detention centre has been rebuilt since a major disturbance in 2006, the second in its eight and a half year history, destroyed two wings and halved its official capacity to 259 detainees.<br /><br />But the chief inspector of prisons, Dame Anne Owers, said the imminent opening of a higher security prison-type block threatens recent improvements at the "troubled" removal centre.<br /><br />In 2006 Owers said Harmondsworth, which opened in 2001 as a long-term purpose-built immigration centre, was "the worst immigration removal centre we have inspected". The original contractors, Kalyx, formerly known as United Kingdom Detention Services, were replaced in June last year by the American private security company, the GEO Group, which also operates Campsfield House near Oxford.<br /><br />Britain already has the largest network of immigration detention centres in Europe, with more than 3,100 places. The new extension at Harmondsworth will add 364 more beds to that total and more than double its existing capacity of 259.<br /><br />Owers says since the 2006 disturbance the prison inspectors have charted a "slow but steady progress from this low point". The results of the most recent inspection carried out in January this year and published today show demonstrable improvements in culture and regime.<br /><br />"However, the imminent opening of a new block, doubling the size of the centre and built to higher security prison standards, would pose a challenge to these improvements," says the chief inspector's report.<br /><br />Today's report said the inspectors were concerned about the potential impact of the new building, due to open next month. "This will provide prison-type accommodation, in small and somewhat oppressive cells ? at odds with the atmosphere and facilities in the current centre," said Owers. "It would also double the population, making Harmondsworth the biggest removal centre in Europe. This combination will pose a considerable challenge to managers in seeking to embed recent progress and run a single, safe and decent centre."<br /><br />The chief inspector's fears are supported by Harmondsworth's independent monitoring board, which said the new block would increase its capacity to 630 detainees. It says detention centres should not be built to prison designs. "The new rooms, to be shared by two people, are based on prison cells, with toilets located inside the room, behind limited screening," said Hashi Syedain, the board's head. "They will offer lower standards of decency than the facilities they replace."<br /><br />The chief inspector's report found that relations between staff and detainees were cordial and improving, with little evidence of tension or conflict among the many different nationalities and ethnic groups in the centre.<br /><br />A decision to allow freedom of movement around the centre had led to significant improvements in the atmosphere, and the use of force and other disciplinary measures had dropped in the previous six months.<br /><br />But, healthcare was unacceptably poor and required urgent attention both in terms of quality and quantity of provision, and the approach of healthcare staff.<br /><br />The United Kingdom Border Agency disputed that the extra prison-type accommodation would jeopardise recent improvements: "The expansion of Harmondsworth will allow the UK Border Agency to remove even more foreign criminals and failed asylum seekers," said David Wood, the UKBA's director for criminality and detention. "We will work with our contractors to make sure the improvements praised by the chief inspector's report continue."<br /><br />Owers said many detainees were still arriving at Harmondsworth after "excessive and unexplained movements" between removal centres across England. Many had endured long journeys without food or sufficient comfort breaks.<br /><br />The report said that about 10% of the 213 detainees held at the time of the inspection in January had been held in detention for more than six months.<br /><br />The Queen's speech confirmed the coalition's determination to end the detention of children in immigration centres but indicated no change of policy in Whitehall's officially stated policy of trying to increase the numbers of illegal migrants who are sent home. The Lib Dems dropped their election demand for an 'earned citizenship" route for irregular migrants who had been in Britain for more than 10 years as part of the coalition negotiations.Countermap QMaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06329453262061228698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5019159635105397965.post-71372139472604620762010-05-22T05:54:00.000-07:002010-05-22T06:46:05.916-07:00Gender at Queen Mary<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhrpQAt4k08kaNnb0ZQVBfnzhSSPXUU_rpiO_r5sX6Hb5cy5BiYDQLC9moVMeL22ophQgZdxm2j-vKoqmntp0Bu6TdmCkBshJGPxqREntCYwktFK7J0obAFKyd8TP8Ov3qn7Nmr46iB5I/s1600/Gender+disparity+at+QM.JPG"><img style="display:block; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 800px; height: 450px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhrpQAt4k08kaNnb0ZQVBfnzhSSPXUU_rpiO_r5sX6Hb5cy5BiYDQLC9moVMeL22ophQgZdxm2j-vKoqmntp0Bu6TdmCkBshJGPxqREntCYwktFK7J0obAFKyd8TP8Ov3qn7Nmr46iB5I/s400/Gender+disparity+at+QM.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474090011892813410" /></a><br /><br /><br />"Among academic and administrative staff at QMUL women are on average<br />paid approximately £2000 less than men of the same age, length of service,<br />and ethnic group, working in the same department."<br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Gender pay disparity at QMUL, Report 2005</span><br /><br /><br />.Countermap QMaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06329453262061228698noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5019159635105397965.post-1406008360744996572010-05-19T12:39:00.001-07:002010-05-19T12:45:37.350-07:00photos from the first drift thursday 13 may<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVhXE-TgKRaoQLags0OOSyUS8MlNaHhqrLuO4wSEUP1E3dnC4eJbl8CJzXsXS2g3Ob0Jm1ifIeCic0eJ3vILC5jZ4Hvk7UmQm1BlqP-CrMIEdNQy4EfLmLbbJYIpMqOH_GvDdf4HbiIs8/s1600/IMG_0663.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVhXE-TgKRaoQLags0OOSyUS8MlNaHhqrLuO4wSEUP1E3dnC4eJbl8CJzXsXS2g3Ob0Jm1ifIeCic0eJ3vILC5jZ4Hvk7UmQm1BlqP-CrMIEdNQy4EfLmLbbJYIpMqOH_GvDdf4HbiIs8/s400/IMG_0663.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5473069557951395202" /></a><br /><br /><br />all the photos are from the counter cartographies collective camera<br />photo essay begins at the opening event of the counter mapping qmay event ...<br /><br />Counter/Mapping QMary: the university and border technologies<br /><br />To begin by asking what is the university requires an investigation of the function of the university not only as a knowledge factory but also as a border.
