Excited to hear from 3 of our Declaration's founder signatories Selina Todd Cathy Devine Professor Alice Sullivan at their #FiLiA2023 book launch of 'Sex & Gender, a Contemporary Reader'.
Last wk at #Lab23 we gave copies to each of our The Labour Party MP speakers at our #LWDLiverpool23 fringes.

Amazing crowd for our panel on 'Sex and Gender: A contemporary reader' Routledge Books at #FiLiA2023 Selina Todd Cathy Devine Lisa Mackenzie

Also beamed live into 2 overflow halls!

Absolutely delighted to hear this and find it easier to believe than the modest Kathleen Stock does.

. Lisa Mackenzie said “Scotland would benefit from a freedom of speech champion like the one who took up post in England.”

The University of Edinburgh doesn’t have to wait for legislative change. They could appoint their own independent free speech champion now.

A bunch of bullies seeking to ban discussion of a book. History suggests that never ends well.
Yet there are still academics at my own institution and beyond suggesting we’re just making a fuss about nothing to manufacture a “culture war”.

Arrived in Glasgow to participate in the FiLiA conference tomorrow. I guess i’ll be witnessing in real time what i have been reading about over the last few year: The concerted attempts to censor #women and prevent them from meeting and discussing issues that are…

another academic and audience facing cancelation, threats, intimidation.

We stand in solidarity with Professor Alice Sullivan and Professor Selina Todd and all the contributors to their new book on sex and gender...

Delighted to be at #FiLiA2023 today talking about Sex and Gender: A Contemporary Reader with Professor Alice Sullivan Cathy Devine Lisa Mackenzie and meeting a lot of readers and soon-to-be readers for debate and discussion. Thank you FiLiA!

Pleasure to be interviewed by student journalists doing their job, ie seeking to fairly represent both sides.

150 years after men rioted against women studying medicine at Edinburgh University, there are still those who oppose women's right to speak, study, read & publish.

And there are still feminist scholars standing up to them.

I was lucky enough to receive a pre-print of this book so I could write an endorsement. I stand by this endorsement. The book is thoughtful, well researched and an important contribution to a necessary debate.

'Co-editors of the book, Sullivan and Todd, wrote to Mathieson: “This is an astonishing demand which suggests that opponents of pluralism, rigorous scholarship, and open discussion at the University of Edinburgh have been pandered to and emboldened.' Selina Todd

So pleased to get my copy today!

What a great resource for anyone wanting to engage with serious thinking on this topic.

Congratulations Selina Todd Professor Alice Sullivan
