I’m old enough to remember when everybody agreed that higher education was a “market” and offering “choice” was how the universities were meant to grow

Extremely excited for this, and what a beautiful poster design!

Everyday Diplomats – Simple Book Publishing Around the world, movements in support of East Timor (Timor-Leste) during the 24-year Indonesian occupation made a diplomatic difference. This book tells some of their stories.
