On our day trip to The Hague and the campus happened to be open because it’s open day! So excited to get to teach sociolinguistics in the BA International Studies in April 🤩

Happy to share a new article co-written with Michael Sampson, my dear colleague at #LeidenUniversity, 'Comparing Chinese and EU trade agreement strategies: lessons for normative power Europe?'

Somewhat impertinently, we suggest the EU would be better able to further democracy & fundamental values with free trade agreements if it took lessons from the #Chinese - adopting a more gradualist approach to #FreeTrade negotiations.

Josette Daemen makes an economic argument for taking the cameras down in her column (Dutch): https://mareonline.nl/opinie/het-lozen-van-de-classroom-scanners-is-de-enige-rationele-keuze

€220,000 < €220,000 + feelings of an unsafe working environment & breach of trust + loss of reputation

@dutchacademics @academicchatter

Just over a year ago, a spokesperson for #LeidenUniversity said the smart cameras installed secretively during lockdown would ONLY be turned back on 'if students and staff are convinced they are safe'.

Over 300 have now signed a letter of concern addressed to the University Council:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ei3DyOjK1RG5qm37cgGIPJEeLMLmOEp7Cu3Um38LkI0/edit

We are NOT convinced.

We want them to take the cameras DOWN.

Een jaar geleden zei #UniversiteitLeiden dat ze de AI-gestuurde slimme camera's alleen weer aan zouden zetten "als studenten en medewerkers ervan overtuigd zijn dat deze camera’s veilig zijn".

Meer dan 300 mensen hebben een open brief getekend waarin ze de universiteitsraad vragen een negatief advies uit te brengen:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ei3DyOjK1RG5qm37cgGIPJEeLMLmOEp7Cu3Um38LkI0/edit

Wij zijn NIET overtuigd.

Haal de camera's WEG.

Smart cameras have no place on campus: take them down (Leiden)
https://www.doorbraak.eu/smart-cameras-have-no-place-on-campus-take-them-down-leiden/

"Our core objection is this: the use of smart cameras and surveillance technology in universities undermines the academic values of freedom and autonomy. It sends the message to students and staff that they are not trusted and must be constantly supervised."

#LeidenUniversity

I wrote an op-ed with colleagues at Leiden's Humanities and Social Science faculties for Mare 👇

https://mareonline.nl/en/background/smart-cameras-have-no-place-on-campus-take-them-down/

We argue #SurveillanceTechnology undermines academic values of freedom and autonomy.

The board of #LeidenUniversity should take the smart cameras down!
