: Half of UK universities face a deficit next year. Up to 50 could close.

That is a sector in crisis. Simply blaming a tuition fee freeze and nudging fees up with inflation is not a plan. Where is the long-term strategy for higher education?

Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities.

On this occasion it is even more important to support a journal, which has hugely contributed to foster and shape the field of Disability Studies.
Please consider donating to Disability Studies Quarterly.

Struggling university selling £80m 'vanity project' campus Unions criticised the 'vanity project' as being partly to blame for hundreds of job cuts

Nottingham University spent £80m on Castle Meadow Campus & now decides to sell it

Only 2 buildings were ever used

No one is taking blame for huge fiasco

University blithely calls it “strategic realignment” -- while sacking staff & closing courses

This is on the X account of the UK Home Office. A Labour government.
Where is this country going?

I would like to remind the British government that among the taxpayers in the UK there are millions of non-British people.

Did you know today is International Men’s Day?

I’m spending it writing about Italy’s disabled WWI veterans and their family lives under fascism - a world far more complex than the usual tale of ‘sacrificial patriotic heroes’.

I invite you all to read this article (and the rest of the issue) and let me know what your own thoughts on the topic ‘gender and fascism’ are!
