Academia's original sin is forcing the most knowledgeable, talented, and passionate scientists, educators, and scholars to move every 1 to 4 years chasing postdocs. The kinds of community level changes we need to fight climate change need people who can commit to those communities.

Ruth Davidson keeps referring to what I now realise is “Shy Tory Syndrome” on Sky News…but for a moment I misheard and thought she was being refreshingly honest.

“Political insistence that higher education must operate like a market has led to many of the worst pathologies of market societies.” Time to crack down on ‘low value’ ‘rip off’ Tories 🗳️ 🙌

Aw no - hopefully it will be a pretty place to work at least? I’m in the west of Ireland with my in laws right now. They’re used to the desert so they’re quite enamoured by it all. Me: “Look at the ancient yew tree!” Them: “Sure but what are all these yellow & white flowers?” “Buttercups & clover.”

The amazing Merel Talbi, PhD candidate at our ERC project on social epistemology of argumentation, has a new article out! "The epistemic import of narratives" She argues that narratives can help foster common ground in situations of epistemic (& other) diversity.

At Goldsmiths the redundancy letter still said Kent; the consultants didn't even do a find and replace, which is presumably what they get paid for

There'll likely be lots of these in the next few years: valedictory events for university departments that have been closed. Quite a good idea, but by God it's sad to see.

It’s interesting listening to Farage. He offers no solutions and clearly has none. He just points at things and says that’s bad, which is the key approach from politicians on either end of the political spectrum. It gets claps from people who like to clap #partiesdebate
