I’ve been hearing so much anger and disappointment from frontline workers about the BBC investigation into fraudulent asylum claims. One of the most damning responses has come from one of the experts they interviewed, solicitor Ana Gonzalez. It’s really worth reading her response in full:

Jürgen Habermas, philosophe allemand, intellectuel combatif et esprit encyclopédique, est mort à l’âge de 96 ans
Ce théoricien, qui n’hésitait pas à intervenir dans le débat public, fut un des premiers à harmoniser la tradition analytique anglo-saxonne, axée sur la logique et la langue, et la tradition continentale, centrée sur les idées.

We're struggling with this on our campus right now as well. I don't understand what is supposed to be an effective alt text for a page of musical score my students are analyzing. Have you seen anyone discuss this that I could reference? I imagine it's one of several issues involved for music depts.
