Cllr Dr Max Morris

Proud of @apowelllaw.bsky.social for publishing his first book. A necessary critique of how legal/political systems (dis)allow refugee status on the basis of identity categories and stereotypes. Highly relevant as successive UK governments have sought to politicise both migrants and LGBTIQA+ people.

“Under the new guidance, places such as hospital wards, gyms and leisure centres will reportedly be able to question transgender women over whether they should be using single-sex services based on how they look, their behaviour or concerns raised by others.”

Gender policing harms us all.

Oxford was looking very pretty in the winter sun today 🏳️‍⚧️

I stayed up last night watching AI videos (terrible idea) in preparation for a lecture on how consent can be violated by digital media. I'm convinced that they contributed to my vivid nightmares this morning. There's just something "off" about them, even the most compelling examples. Buyer beware. 👹

Green Party Councillor Max Morris, who attended the march, told Cherwell: “While the media fixates on Farage, ordinary people are standing in unity with migrants and refugees. Green Party councillors, candidates, and members showed up in big numbers to oppose the rise of fascism alongside the government’s disastrous attempts to appease the far-right”

The Oxford Unity March brought together hundreds of residents as well as dozens of local organisations, trade unions, and political parties standing together to defend our city's diverse communities. Green Party members showed our solidarity. My comment for Cherwell: www.cherwell.org/2025/11/16/o...

I really can't get over how good of a turn out this was. Oxford really showed up in solidarity today!

Brookes is committed to open access to our research. Congratulations to ace Brookes colleague Max Morris for "Queering discourses of prostitution, homosexuality, and age of consent : how social media troubles traditional and contemporary constructions of sex work", now available open access.

Around 100 counterprotesters from Stand Up to Racism, Oxford for Trans Rights, and the Oxford Green Party chanting ‘We don’t want your culture war’ were also in Bonn Square. Thames Valley Police were present to keep the various protests separate.

Councillor Max Morris, Green Party member of Oxford City Council, told Cherwell: “I was at today’s counter-protest to resist the far right and Posie Parker’s hateful rhetoric, both in a personal capacity as a non-binary person and as a local councillor.”

“Oxford City Green Party councillors, candidates, and supporters have been showing up routinely to stand in solidarity with our diverse communities. At the last council meeting, we successfully called on Oxford City Council to stand with minority groups in our city and oppose the division stoked by the far right.”

The people of Oxford showed up on mass to resist the far right and Posie Parker's hateful rhetoric today. Sadly, the government's silence has left a vacuum which these groups have rushed to fill. Never welcome in our city. Also big thanks to whoever handed me this sign. #GenderAnarchy #TransRights 🏳️‍⚧️

Zack Polanski, "The four wealthiest people in this country have more wealth than 20 million people"

"Inequality in our society is absolutely huge"

"We need to be taxing the super rich"

“Why is it always hard choices for working-class communities — not for multimillionaires and billionaires?”
