The RCA needs a radical rethink. Come and join us on Wednesday 28 April, 1–2pm and help make an art school that works for all. Link to Zoom signup for this student/staff assembly in bio. March 20, 2021 was UN Anti-Racism Day. To mark this day we hosted an online lunchtime drop in session for UCU members – to share ideas, thoughts and examples about anti-racist practice and pedagogy. This list of resources now lives online at https://rcaucu.com/anti-racist-art-and-design/ + link in bio. It's 2021 and there is still a 4.6% gender pay gap at the RCA.* Come and discuss your concerns around gender and employment at the RCA in an informal discussion on Monday 8th March from 1-2pm with the UCU Equality reps Nina Trivedi and Tanveer Ahmed. Facing the Crisis: Unions in the Age of Covid - Wed 24 Feb 7-8.30pm RCA UCU is hosting a student and staff assembly to discuss key issues at the college and ideas for future collaboration. We’ve invited representatives from all four unions at the college, including @unitetheunion (the union for technical, professional services and support staff), @iwgb_union (the union for outsourced staff including cleaners and security) and the @rcasu.org.uk Student Union. We’ve asked students to attend too so that they can comment on their learning experiences this year and think about collective strategies to help this improve. Let's find a way to all work together and make the RCA as good a place to work and study as possible. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT + SOLIDARITY THIS YEAR Huge thanks to all who attended our cross union meeting yesterday. We’ve got big plans, working together with @rcasu.org.uk @unitetheunion @iwgb_union to move forward and change the #rca for the better #solidarity #jointheunion If you are a VL, academic or academic related staff at the RCA join @ucunion Student Testimony #generationrca
