Here’s an important bit of data visualisation that I don’t think I’ve seen from anyone yet. I’ve crunched the numbers and put them in a chart myself. This is the proportional change of seats for each party:

🟢 +69%
🟠 +25%
🔴 +19%
🔵 -48%

Excited about all that’s happening on #ClimateCrisis Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge starting with the launch of Climate and Sustainability Education Series (CASES) with Tristan McCowan keynote ‘CLIMATE CHANGE EDUCATION: FROM TOPOGRAPHY TO REIMAGINING’ @‘Climate is a social issue!’ Symposium 1/2

Hats off to Barilla for packaging their pasta without any plastic at all.
Shows it can be done.

Great this from Stephen Sterling.
Why don’t governments take education for sustainability seriously?
One answer is that they don’t get it.
The other answer is that they do get it (and fear how transformative it could be).

📰Our Working Paper on 'Reconceptualising International Flows of Aid to and through Higher Education' by Lee Rensimer and Tristan McCowan is now available to read here: bit.ly/3Ume6hv #CGHEworkingpaper

The 1st #openaccess paper from JustEd is out written by wonderful colleagues Mafer Rodriguez and Maria Balarin about shallow pedagogies as epistemic injustice in Peru. Those who heard Maria's UKFIET conference keynote may be particularly interested.

This is a wonderful project. (And can any of my Nepali friends help with any well-sourced information on Bhujel, Darai, Dham and Kirati/Rai scripts?)

Pleased to see that ‘welding technology’ has now been added to the list of the fields in which my groundbreaking contribution has been recognised…

Dear Predatory Journal,
Thanks so much for getting in touch. I am deeply honoured that you consider my work ‘outstanding’ in areas as diverse as nursing, cybernetics and archaeology.
Sadly though I won't be able to help out with that one last article you need for your issue.
