This is probably a unique opportunity: a free online session of advice for working-class people in higher education about how to get leadership jobs, and hopefully will cover why it's important, too.
Well done Damien!

Let’s do this, together.

COME ON YOU IRONS! ⚒️

Simon Kövesi Thanks for sharing Simon Kövesi. Given this, my internal Fenlander can't resist....

Best view in Grasmere: Two Yorkshire Pudding Wraps containing Sausages and Chips, with bucket of gravy, at Heidi's cafe. We two weary Londoners were contented.

I've had this for about an hour, and it's already one of my favourite nature writing books, ever.

Very excited to see this book on 1830s literature, edited by two of the best scholars in the job, David Stewart and Professor John Gardner, featuring some fabulous writers, and reinvigorating attention to a much-neglected 19thc decade of literary magic.

Amazing that the press gives more attention to Rayner and a few hundred quid, if that, than Sunak donating over £100,000 to one of the country's most expensive private schools, while state schools are in a state of financial collapse. Our moral economy is so kooky.

Delighted to announce that we're having a launch event for the Books and Borrowing, 1750-1830 database at the University of Glasgow on Friday 26th April (starts 4pm)! There will be wine! Hope to see you there - details here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/books-and-bo….

The only lesson to be learned here, is how very dangerous doing PPE at Oxford is, for the long-term shape of the noggin and ethics of the venal and ambitious. Price (and dodgy stats) of everything - value of nothing.

Many congratulations to Professor Kirsteen McCue, Professor of Scottish Literature and Song Culture University of Glasgow, who has been elected Fellow of Royal Society of Edinburgh.
