Ik ben op weg naar Spraakmakers op Radio1 om door de spraakmaker van vandaag te zijn en het met Nike Stam (Keltistiek, UU) te hebben over protesteren in de Keltische en Koreaanse tradities. En over die verdomde bezuinigingen.

Om 13.00u bij het Moreelsepark! Wie zie ik daar?

I made a Celtic Studies starter pack, for anyone interested! I’m sure it’s not complete but it’s a start. If you want to be added (or removed!) let me know. go.bsky.app/N66pWqa

Relevant to UK higher education sector right now

Yesterday, an opinion piece came out by our very own Peter Schrijver, who stated that cancelling programmes like Celtic and Korean does not actually save much money, but that it is 'managerial machismo' 🔥 🛷 www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2024/...

Alumna Nina expressed her concern about the plans in L1: "It's part of our history, because the Celts also lived in the Netherlands", she explains. "Celtic Literature experienced great heights in the Middle Ages, the ripple effect of which can still be seen today" www.l1nieuws.nl/nieuws/27829...
