"The research produced there is world-leading. If we lose these courses, we will lose more than thousands of devoted and pioneering academics. We will create a system where only the wealthy and privileged get to study the very subjects that make Britain what it is."

Thanks to our amazing authors, readers, reviewers and publisher for contributing to the life of our journal! @asmcf.bsky.social @tandfresearch.bsky.social

Excited to share some new research next week. Here's Faladé in 1995: "But I think we should be proud - or at least I am - that in our country – because it is our country – what we used to call this “black race,” this population that suffered as it did, can now teach the world a lesson like this."
