NEH introduces new prohibited categories to comply with executive orders. This is an infringement of academic freedom plain and simple, and also nonsense: what is “discriminatory equity ideology”

Terrible news out of Bangor University. Management seeking to save £15m, up to 200 posts to go. They’re not proposing compulsory redundancy at this stage, which is of some comfort, but this remains a heavy blow for us.

1/6 Nigel Biggar, a Conservative Lord, has been a key figure promoting right wing Christian nationalism in the UK. He & allies are now proselytising in Canada. Historical revisionism lies at the heart of their project. Here’s what to look out for: www.catholicregister.org/item/1730-al...

If, like me, you are a UCU member and agree the union should stop wasting time and effort on a fruitless round of pay strikes at a time when tens of thousands of academic jobs are at risk, then please consider signing this open letter (link early on the document): ucucommons.org/2025/02/13/m...

I especially agree with the points made below that many people just don't know about what universities do and how they operate in the local economy of their region...

A middle class middle aged allegory, or something: watering the pelargoniums a little too arm-wavingly, because nkosi sikelel’ iafrika was on the radio, and it brings thoughts of joy and also rage, i decapitated (very cleanly and satisfyingly) a martini glass waiting to be washed up from last night

I like fiction and don't always trust people, but am confident that if an old man was stabbed in a room where no one reads fiction at all, a FTSE100 company, say, or a university, people would still get up and help ffs

I signed this open letter calling for UCU HEC to call off the ballot for industrial action on pay and to refocus on the urgent reform needed to stop the sector collapsing entirely. Much as I'd like a nicer deckchair, I'm increasingly worried about that iceberg we nudged a little while back.

This news was on the radio this morning - the Frenchman was happy to hear talk of his old favourite Barbara Pym and I was happy to remember that he loves her not via me but via a long ago recommendation from Jacques Roubaud, always a champion of the English minor vein www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Dr Williams Library is relocating to the John Rylands Library in Manchester! This is absolutely fabulous news! The Rylands already has incredible archival riches, but this is going to consolidate it as a major centre of nonconformist writing 🌟 dwl.ac.uk

I had a week filled of awful (not big time acute for me awful, low grade stressy awful plus backdrop of political panic) but I heard a wonderful talk by Cristina Rivera Garza and today I bought myself two new oil pastel colors and, you know, great art (her) and aimless scribbling (me) really helps

Amazing to contrast the absolute timidity of Starmer, who won a giant majority, with the ruthless overreach of Trump (who did not). If Labour don't do something ambitious and meaningful pretty soon, the UK will play out the same script we're seeing in the US

@USAID is enduring an unlawful shutdown, purge, and dismantling. It’s thrown its vital work into turmoil—based on spurious, absurd, and willfully slanted attacks. Here's what’s real: the massive and growing harm now being caused. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/h...

Got an email from a group in Montréal looking for people to take new immigrants out snowshoeing and cross-country skiing and get them comfortable in the snow - this is the energy I want to take into the week.
