Despite drawbacks, several good points here: (1) Dundee University is genuinely fighting for its life; (2) some uni management teams in some unis are out of control; (3) the multiple UK govts don't even have a clue what's going on, no controls and no plan... (1/2) www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/...

Gramsci's always worth reading, and now, more than ever!
Christoph Schuringa@schuringa.bsky.social · 2y agoGramsci’s first sentence here, heard in our time, is bound to seem extremely demanding but it’s also, I think, highly apt
We really enjoyed editing this book. A wonderful set of contributors, all with something to say. Some know Bob some know the songs, some know this and that along the way. Well worth reading, buying or stealing
Imprint Academic@imprintacademic.bsky.social · 2y agoAs 'A Complete Unknown' is out in UK cinemas today, why not further your Bob Dylan knowledge by getting a copy of 'Dylan at 80' by Gary Browning and Constantine Sandis? Buy your copy here: www.imprint.co.uk/product/dylan/
