So Leeds Uni is holding a 'workshop' on reforms to the GRA. What would you expect an academic workshop, with the imprimature of a serious research University, to look like? All interests represented? Balance? Acknowledgement of complexity of issues? Respectful disagreement? Er..

I embrace that they are holding this workshop. As per Prof. Stock, given that there is not a #nodebate or #noplatform issue involved (as when other speakers decline to attend, say, a WPUK event) it would have been interesting if they were holding a more academically rigorous discussion given the seniority of the staff involved.

IF anyone attends this, I'd be grateful for a report.

I have spoken to students who have been "taught" by one of the people running that workshop. The "teaching" was basically unadulterated transactivism, and it was made clear at the outset that no debate was permitted from a feminist perspective.

That makes me so sad and sorry about the state of research and academia.
