#REF2029:
-Long-form research, such as books, has 5-year portability.
- SPRE pushes institutions to show strategy, not just good intentions.
Risks:
– “Culture” fades as a named commitment that may risk managerial gloss.
– Strategy-heavy framing may favour well-resourced universities.

My DNA results. I have apparently got Inuit ancestry. 😊 Didn't see that coming. From the Mediterranean to the Arctic in one chromosome set. Kind of amazing how far histories can take you. We all share far more roots and similarities than we admit. Humanity really is one long migration.

The New School has long protected dissenting thought and critical scholarship. It is painful to watch an institution with such an intellectual lineage treated as a budgetary problem.
At a moment defined by democratic erosion, we need the New School’s founding vision more than ever!

New School University is shutting down programs, PhD admissions have been paused, and faculty are now receiving emails to resign.
Of course, this isn't the first crisis, BUT the administration's response hasn't always been like today's revamped austerity "shock therapy.” 👇🏽

"Ralph Hubbell has succeeded marvelously in rendering the stream of consciousness of inner offbeat voices within the short stories of the great and notoriously difficult twentieth-century Turkish author Oğuz Atay."
Nice translation praise from MLA's Scaglione Prize committee.

Under a zero tolerance policy, the first Trump administration separated immigrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border.
New data suggests separations now happen all over the country, often after little more than a traffic stop.

More of us should sit with Palestinians, listen without flinching, and let their stories settle into us. When we carry their pain, we gain sharper tools for peace to rebuild what fear and senseless violence keep breaking.

Previous rounds of sanctions have been applied to Russian energy companies, banks, military suppliers and the “shadow fleet” of ships carrying Russian oil. Continue reading...

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.
