A Manifesto for Resistance in COVID-19 Times
by Ernesto Priego 07 May '20

07 May '20

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Please forward suspicious emails to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear all, Greetings from London, UK. Colleagues in the UK have been sharing a comprehensive manifesto of resistance to the current Covid-exacerbated crisis in Higher Education. You may have heard that a government bailout was refused (see https://www.theguardian.com/education/2020/may/04/government-refuses-multi-…). In response, the document aims to provide a vision of higher education that is radical and democratic, and which refuses both the 'new normal' and the 'old normal'. As far as I can seem there's nothing in the form that would not allow international signatures. This is a time where any gesture (however small) of international solidarity can go a very long way. Sometimes all we have is the power of empathy. Please read, and if you agree, please consider signing and sharing it: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfvVfRd-Ux46Lc4iGHT1gbpJtklr0Ksnax… (You may ask yourselves- "what does this have to do with the digital humanities?" And I'd say, everything). Wishing you all the best in these exceptional times.
