Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

And numerous academic related, professional services jobs too.
The effect on the towns and cities that are losing all of these jobs (academic and academic related) will be immeasurable. Universities are amongst the major employers in many places.
The knock-on will cause even more job losses.

Spent a day at the British Museum immersed in their Hew Locke: what have we here? & Silk Roads exhibitions. Both are fantastic! The former critically explores the museum’s close ties to the British empire & the latter showcases the extensive connections btwn Asia, Africa, & Europe in 500-1000 CE.
