This sounds great and timely! And it’s free right now!

How do nations define belonging beyond their borders? On the blog now, Matthias vom Hau @ibei.org & Avi Astor @uab.cat introduce “exoteric nationalism” through Germany’s stance on Gaza-showing how loyalty to external causes shapes #identity & #citizenship: www.eu-values.eu/blog/exoteri...

Do language restrictions ignite rebellion—or merely signal deeper political exclusion? Using the Nation-Building Policies Dataset (1945–2020), we find that language & political grievances are not isolated sparks but evolve together as part of the same exclusionary regime. @emreamasyali.bsky.social

Outstanding interview, so many great quotes here. Loved the weightroom analogy:

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Just to be absolutely clear: The President of the United States has absolutely no power to “take away” any right enumerated in the Constitution from any person. And that is how every single article, blog post, and social media commentary should start when discussing this ludicrous statement.

#EuropeanResearchersNight was a great success! Three of our researchers participated, giving talks in the “Conversations with International Researchers” session. We were impressed with the engagement and many interesting questions! See you next year! #AcademicSky

Today I had a paper rejected because it was not “novel” enough. That's bizarre; it had a love story, character development, a plot twist, and a cliffhanger ending that set up a sequel.

Fewer graduates regret going to university than is widely assumed and the public have a more favourable view of universities than people imagine, according to new research. @helenpacker.bsky.social reports #academicsky #edusky

Putting these two bits of information next to each other is a real eye-opener. Really shows what an incoherent mess government policy on higher education is, & how badly the government is failing the country by it.

This is a worrying development for academia. 😬 #AcademicSky #EduSky

Our project manager Eva Fortes was delighted to co-chair a panel at the IMISCOE Annual Conference last week. The panel discussed the need to decenter #migration research by making a careful shift in the object of study: how do we categorize migrants? And who benefits? #SocialScience #AcademicSky
