"male historians also enjoy explaining what excellent allies they are to female historians. [...] This explanation is, often, the limit to their solidarity." 💯
...academic service, organisation, administration, do distract, after all, from all that time-consuming work of mansserting oneself...

I listened to this on my morning walk, and besides being a fantastic poet, political activist, and humane thinker, it made me think Benjamin Zephaniah seemed like an absolute diamond bloke. What grace, despite it all (and despite some pretty silly questions here) www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...

Opinion | Gutting Language Departments Would Be a Disaster
Once a program is gone, it is very difficult and expensive to bring it back.
Rebecca Walkowitz making the big case not only for learning and teaching languages but also, crucially, for research. It’s a long game, she argues, and we cannot know what will prove valuable until it does. Don’t abandon language departments. Don’t abandon basic research.
