You only have to go back a few generations in my family to find Irish people forced to leave their homeland because British colonialism manufactured a famine and made it impossible to stay. It destroyed the region I descend from.
It's the literal reason I'm English.

My fellow USAians: before you launch into your next Neville Chamberlain analogy, please do take a look at the Wikipedia section on his legacy & reputation. In my little corner of England, we were aware of the “revisionist school” in … 1991.

the reason its bad to run universities like businesses is that almost all businesses fail on any reasonable timeline of evaluation.

They claim financial exigency, but then turn down $4 million pledges to keep the PhD programs open and disregard financial analyses that point to the real problem—bad real estate deals, spending on consultants, and their own salaries 2/2

I live in Wales and today received my Join Us letter from Reform UK, complete with SAE which I posted back to them, immediately, empty. If every other person in Wales did this, Reform would spend over £1.5 million on postage. Not sorry. Join me Cymru.

100% with you on that- translating or transcribing everything rather than looking for the relevant bits gives you a much richer picture. And then the material is available for others to use too, which stimulates the conversations.

The process of transcribing documents and doing that sort of deep work is essential to the process of scholarship. (I get that when you’re working with big datasets some sort of AI is helpful ofc).
But a hill I’ll die on is that transcribing, checking and sorting is essential to understanding.
