Back in April 2020 the Steering Group of the Professors’ Forum sent out a proposal to all staff in academic departments, inviting them to ask how Goldsmiths might ensure better decision-making structures going forward. The impoverished capacity for inclusive and participatory decision-making across the College was highlighted as a key shortcoming of ‘Evolving Goldsmiths’. The result of that invitation was a grassroots conversation within and across many departments. Collective Change instigated a new expression of collegiality and a new pragmatics for deciding the College’s future.
