Turns out chasing unsustainable student number expansion, desperately trying to recruit international students by fair means or foul, and borrowing recklessly have all been bad for universities. Pretty embarrassing, really, that none of us clever-clever academics ever thought of any of this before.

Mamdani got a humanities degree. His win helps to illustrate that one of the central forces driving higher ed’s dissolution of the humanities is the fear that teaching people how power works can also lead to their interest in seizing it on behalf of the less powerful.

This week I'll be submitting the manuscript, with my brilliant co-editor Carl Kears, for our OA volume with UCL Press: 'Beyond Medieval Archives: Rethinking the medieval archive through creative and critical practice'. Still so much work to do before Thursday, but it's exciting!

I think about this poem by Ian Duhig — about Jo Cox, the Labour MP assassinated by a man shouting ‘Britain first’ — every day at the moment. No other contemporary poet has looked so clearly at the political reality of the far right as a minority who must always be appeased

Rue

Rue Jo Cox, Députée Britannique, a street sign in Burgundy reads, Assassinée pour ses convictions.

No British road is named after her, I found on returning home, for fear it could have proved controversial.

I remembered in Shakespeare rue even for ruth, called 'herb of grace' because it was used in exorcisms,

by the angel to clean Adam's eyes, and Gulliver back home for his nose against the smell of his countrymen.
