I picked this up from an annoying little feed on my laptop so can't link, but the lead tutor (Bengry) been made redundant and is not best pleased.
Weren't Goldsmiths' students very active in shutting down women's groups in the area back a few years?
They are alsp ending their Black History MA.
The story was first in the Independent but I can't find it on their site.

It appears Goldsmiths have made a professor reduntant (as part of a programme of over 50 staff redundancies? ) He ran the MA in "Queer History"
He posted on twitterX about it - the responses weren't what he hoped it seems:

The institution appears to be worst hit by this wave of uk higher ed redundancies. Many jobs lost across the uni in depts like music. 1 in 6 staff affected apparently.

It's the MA, not the course. Not sure it has any significance. I assume it's a numbers game
