The Wandering Jew: a travelling exhibition is now at the @ghilondon.bsky.social! There are limited tickets left for the 23rd January where I will be in conversation with Elisabeth Becker-Topkara exploring the legend in German culture past & present.

Here it is, our most-read article of 2024:
"The recent change to our course-management system has meant that I need to re-upload every document and assignment and reassign every homework. I will be attending three two-hour training sessions to help me do this."
A long quotation: “Humanities research is underfunded, and the institutional sources and intellectual effects of this underfunding are insufficiently appreciated. The paper gives an example of the negative effects of a humanities discipline’s lack of research infrastructure on scholarly work. Section 2 describes the main categories through which research funds arrive on U.S. campuses. Section 3 describes the disproportions between Science & Engineering (S&E or “STEM”) funding and funding for social and cultural disciplines. Section 4 discussions the “institutional funds” that universities use to cover research costs from their own pockets. Section 5 shows that universities do not use their institutional funds to compensate for inequities in humanities funding but to perpetuate them. Section 6 claims that the current state of humanities funding abridges academic freedom and calls on humanities administrative personnel to lead a national campaign to rectify the current situation. Misconceptions about humanities research and its funding must be openly acknowledged and addressed so that it can come to have public effects that reflect its actual intellectual achievements.”

A brilliant opportunity to bring the Wandering Jew exhibition to Limmud Festival and run a session on rethinking the legend alongside a collage workshop!
