  • Reindorf Report, and an Update in Light of the Judgment of the Employment Appeal Tribunal in the Case of Forstater V CGD
    Leadership Starts with the Law Briefing for universities on The Reindorf Review JUNE 2021 Foreword In May 2021 the University of Essex published a review by barrister Akua Reindorf concerning the “deplatforming” of two academics because of their “gender critical” views. It captures a glimpse of statutory compliance and academic freedom under fire: university policies captured by internal and external lobby groups, and cultures of fear where academics and students can be hostages to groundless charges of transphobia. The Essex report exposes and challenges a widespread phenomenon: accusations of transphobia deployed first to curtail academic freedom, and then to prevent people talking about the curtailment of academic freedom. It should be a wake-up call for university leadership. Sex Matters is a UK based not-for-profit organisation. We campaign, advocate and produce resources to promote clarity about sex in public policy, law and language. This briefing contains highlights from the Reindorf report, and an update in light of the judgment of the Employment Appeal Tribunal in the case of Forstater v CGD. It is written in particular to support university leadership in undertaking robust reviews of their policies, and in withstanding further pressure to discriminate against, harass and victimise gender-critical scholars. Given the circumstances of the Essex report, this briefing considers issues of academic freedom. However, both the Essex report and the case of Forstater v CGD have significant implications for universities when carrying out all their responsibilities as employers, education providers, and service providers. Although aimed at universities, it is also relevant to student unions and organisations that provide services on a university’s behalf.

Mighty urban assemblages and sprawling city-regions now occupy substantial portions of the Earth’s surface; new forms of urban political-economic governance proliferate by the day, if sometimes reinventing older tactics of ‘violent’ control; yawning gulfs of wealth, resources, status and influence continue to divide ‘city rich’ from ‘city poor’, the former often fiercely parasitical on the latter; multiple varieties of urban cultural life-worlds spread across the globe as well as jostling together cheek-by-jowl in particular urban centres; and countless new challenges – technical, political, ethical, environmental – rebound throughout the urban realm, demanding the inventiveness of planners and politicians, activists and citizens, dreamers and doers, scholars and researchers. In this context, the need for high-quality urban studies scholarship and grounded urban research is paramount and arguably growing, which is why we are convinced that the efforts of the Urban Studies Foundation (USF) are timely, relevant and potentially highly significant.

Trying to decide whether to spend a semester/year studying abroad is something many students spend a lot of time pondering. Yes, it's true that the application and accreditation processes may involve quite a lot of formalities, and other areas of your life will need attention too, e.g. securing enough money to support yourself, renting out your flat/ room, and finding someone to look after your hamsters! Still, the benefits of spending even just one semester abroad are definitely worth it, particularly for language students! The chances are you'll come back a different person, with broadened horizons and a new perspective on things, within and beyond of your degree subject. You will learn to be self-sufficient and handle problems and obstacles on your own. Moreover, you will meet new people from all around the world, perfect your foreign language skills and see interesting, new places.
