A lot of people think that every international student admitted means one fewer spot for domestic students, when the opposite is more likely true - the tuition revenue international students bring allows public universities to provide substantial discounts to domestic students, improving access.

Very proud to have published this piece on the radical Argentinian meteorologist Rolando García dx.doi.org/10.1002/wcc....

Baroness Kidron in the House of Lords today: "It is extraordinary that the Government’s decided, immovable and strongly held position is that enforcing the law to prevent the theft of UK citizens’ property is unfair to the sector doing the stealing."

part of what pisses me off is that a lot of people already dont go to university (my wife didnt) so maybe focus on adding options and opportunities for them rather than taking away existing opportunities but then that wouldnt fit with their anti intellectual anti social mobility toryism

Happy to share my first ever published paper (as a contributor). The product of my placement year just over 2 years ago. Looking at fossilised organic/inorganic tubules on Mars. So honoured to have been part of this team. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

📢 Editorial 'Contested compliance of obligations under international law: A take from Global Constitutionalism' by Antje Wiener, Jo Shaw, Jonathan Havercroft, Susan Kang and Stephanie Law #OpenAccess #GlobalConstitutionalism

So sick of hearing "You're biased" used as a social, economic or political argument. I blame the school curriculum - we had to do a load of nonsense in history & science GCSEs about "identifying bias" in a way that left people utterly helpless at dealing with structure, ideology or epistemology.

If you’re looking for fiction that’s especially helpful in this perilous moment, I have a recommendation: Kalpa Imperial by the Argentinian writer Angélica Goridischer. Ursula K. LeGuin did the English translation. bookshop.org/p/books/kalp... 1/
