These are HEPI estimates of the 20 institutions affected: I think this illustrates the impact if the tariff is absorbed in full by institutions.

What share of the 6% tariff different universities may try to pass on to fees - or the impact might be on demand if they did - is not publicly known.

Knowledge Commons is where I recently moved to. I found Academia more straightforward in terms of interface, but KC is a more ethical platform, OA and open source, made by academics for academics.

I remember loving it, when I first read it at 15, because it was NOT ‘the most romantic love story ever’ I had thought it was going to be. It’s the most brainy, agonising, uncanny and toxically incestuous story I ever read, maybe together with Frankenstein, and her writing is just superb!

Nazis quite literally took jewellery and golden tooth implants off the victims (Jewish and otherwise) they imprisoned and killed.

I guess for Farage it’s pubs, poppies, tabloids, and not much else?

Unsurprising: one of my lecturers in Venice (in Mod Languages) said that colleagues in Italian Lit argued that non-white people could not understand Dante. Having said that, in school we were at least told that a Medieval Andalusian/North African tradition existed; we didn’t study it, though.

Exactly. Friends working in creative tech industries say that right wing parties have invested massively in social media comms, starting long before their left-wing counterparts. The effects are ofc visible everywhere, and make Mamdani’s win, or the Palestine discourse, even more impressive.
