We need more in-depth reporting on UK university finances like this. Research , research funding and their relation to teaching and teaching funding could do with a similar level of detail. Here's a sharing link for 3 non-subscribers: on.ft.com/3ImSMWa

New from @edinburghup.bsky.social The Edinburgh Companion to the Millennial Novel, edited by Loïc Bourdeau and @cilloyd.bsky.social, “provides a compassionate, capacious and complex analysis of the over-discussed but under-analysed concept of the millennial and its relationship to long-form fiction”

I share this syllabus bc I'm one of a tiny handful of university faculty in the UK who teach trans history at a specialist level, & I'd like there to be more of us! I learned the field from scratch post-PhD, bc at my prev institution it was politically necessary - which means that you can too!

“‘Disgrace’ became popular, well-known, and worlded by playing on certain stereotypes of South Africa pre- and post-1994 (and the achievement of democracy) that were overfamiliar, irksome, and even offensive to many of his South African readers.”

we would be in a much better state in this country if we stopped focusing on anointing a chosen few working class students into Oxbridge, and instead properly funded all the different sorts of universities that attract students from a wide range of backgrounds already

The photo is part of our new London exhibition, The Art of Nursing, which presents art by and about nurses - revealing how they have been mythologised, usually as female, predominantly as white. It explores the role of art in constructing and resisting stereotypes: buff.ly/vZGtbfa.
