Fascinating piece by @cedricdurand.bsky.social . A key issue here - as per Microsoft’s recent laments - is the impossibility of forcing firms to adopt a technology that demoralises them and delivers no near-term profit. The limits of financial and cultural hype. newleftreview.org/sidecar/post...

c.org/qZcXBxHHGG Sign to show your anger and disappointment in the decisions taken at the University of Nottingham, where Music and Modern Languages are being cut.
Well this is awful news: tinyurl.com/yr65mjkx
'All modern language and music courses are being suspended for new students at the University of Nottingham.'
Nottingham friends: please be assured that we will join you in protesting against this decision in the strongest possible terms. Solidarity.

Fill out this survey from Minister O’Donovan at the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport: ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...
It's almost unusable. Why do they hate page numbers so much?
A proper 12-month replacement post with decent salary (for UKHE, at least) in modern European history. Belfast is a decent place to live - relatively affordable apart from extortionate pint prices - and I can personally vouch for what a great & friendly School we have.
