Shawna Tang
Lecturer in Gender and Cultural Studies
RAFA colleagues and supporters have helped this Singaporean, a cultural stranger to union organising, imagine and see what it means to build a good political life. I admire their collegiality, tactics, sense of fairness, leadership and their keen awareness and commitment to a broad vision of social justice beyond the university. RAFA members clearly understand that the university has a role in socialising society: what we fight for at the uni is always in solidarity with workers everywhere else. RAFA’s dynamic and diverse team is committed to and collectively aligned with the interests of a broad constituency. Shout out to Finola Laughren, Gender and Cultural Studies scholar, putting into practice queer and feminist knowledge and methodologies to shape RAFA’s radical politics!
