The call to revisit Live Methods prompted us to consider the legacy of this text at Goldsmiths college, where the editors and many of the contributors were writing from in 2012. We are PhD students in the Department of Sociology at Goldsmiths, a space where Live Methods has left a marked influence through practices of teaching, learning and research. At Goldsmiths, the 2021–2023 academic years saw an extensive and deeply unpopular ‘restructuring’ process imposed on the college community by senior management, with staff unions responding through extended industrial action. This article reports on PhD student solidarity and creative resistance during that time. We discuss how the ‘Live Methods manifesto’ was used as an intervention on the picket line and as a critical resource for fostering resistance against the neoliberal restructuring of our university. This creative resistance was deeply rooted in the solidarities and affective infrastructures of support that grew out of our weekly Sociology graduate student seminar, ‘Crafting a PhD’. In this article, we present a multimodal account of these events, including narrative and audiovisual material. A decade on from the publication of Live Methods , with the neoliberalisation of UK universities intensifying, we argue that the manifesto’s call for sociologists to embrace a creative and critical orientation towards research is more vital than ever. Live Methods is a resource not only for research, but for inspiring creative resistance and sustaining our collective projects of learning and life within the university.

作为创造性抵抗的 Live Methods：打造博士学位和新自由主义大学的团结

重新审视 Live Methods 的呼吁促使我们考虑金史密斯学院对本文的遗产，编辑和许多撰稿人在 2012 年就在那里写作。我们是金史密斯学院社会学系的博士生，Live Methods 通过教学、学习和研究实践对这个领域产生了显着影响。在金史密斯学院，2021-2023 学年见证了高级管理层对大学社区实施的广泛且非常不受欢迎的“重组”过程，员工工会通过扩大的工业行动来做出回应。本文报道了那段时间博士生的团结和创造性的抵抗。我们讨论了“Live Methods 宣言”如何被用作纠察线上的干预措施，以及作为培养对我们大学新自由主义重组的抵抗的关键资源。这种创造性的抵抗深深植根于我们每周一次的社会学研究生研讨会“打造博士学位”中产生的团结和支持基础设施。在本文中，我们介绍了这些事件的多模态描述，包括叙述和视听材料。在《Live Methods》出版十年后，随着英国大学新自由主义的加剧，我们认为该宣言呼吁社会学家对研究采取创造性和批判性的方向，这比以往任何时候都更加重要。Live Methods 不仅是研究的资源，也是激发创造性抵抗和维持我们在大学内的集体学习和生活项目的资源。
