The @theguardian.com view on the climate fiction: no longer the stuff of sci-fi www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The newly-created Climate Fiction Prize recognizes novels addressing the climate crisis. It's a topic where genre fiction thrives, and we're delighted to see that reflected within the shortlist: reactormag.com/climate-fict...

This is an exceptional analysis piece by @gideonrachman.bsky.social on the implications of the Trump Administration's stance towards Europe for Europe I want to say it's highly provocative, but I fear it's the basecase. A rupture and realignment, unfolding before us www.ft.com/content/11f1...

This is the colleague that the likes of Cleverly, Badenoch & Jenrick are refusing to defend...

They can't clear an invoice for an external speaker within six months and without four rounds of logging in and signing stuff! What makes you think for a moment they'll manage this? www.thetimes.com/uk/education...

Climate fiction isn't always dark or dystopian; some of it offers solutions. Some is even fun. For whatever kind of reader, @chrishatch.bsky.social has aggregated the best cli-fi books www.nationalobserver.com/2024/12/06/o...

Today's university in the Bad News column is the Open University, one of the greatest Labour success stories of all time that's been hammered again and again in recent years. It's trying fire and rehire on Associate Lecturers, some of whom are resisting. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

One of the things that's happening in academia is that lecturers are getting very, very angry because they're used to at least a measure of professional autonomy. They're not going to have any say about what happens to them next, and that's going to be very painful. www.scotsman.com/education/co...
